Preparation Day



We have several quality community recreation buildings and fields. One of them is a “Squash & Racquetball” facility that is frequented by the missionaries about once a week, where the frustrated, athletic, young men of the Alice Springs District are continuing to challenge an old man of 60 years. They just know, in their heart of hearts, that if they work at it long enough and hard enough, they will eventually wear him down and win a match. May I say to those University Soccer and Baseball players, GOOD LUCK!
Update as of Thursday, January 21,(last prepartation day):Well they still didn't manage to beat him, but that pulled hamstring was painful. Now if he just milks it for all it's worth maybe he won't have to play them again? That would accomplish two goals: save Elder Shumway embarrassment and irritate them to no end.

Your memory fails you. You never beat him once.
