Father's day in my ward was good. The talks were inspiring and made effective use of scripture. The hymns were good.

Gospel Doctrine went well too.

The RS sisters baked sweet rolls for the dads and so I had something to munch on during the film in EQ.

Yes, I am back in EQ, and wouldn't you know it--my very first week back the teacher wasn't prepared and threw in a video for 30 minutes.

guilty. the video I used was only 15 minutes but it fit the lesson and it ended up being a good one to use because most of the members apparently had never seen it.

The sister who brought the sacrament bread brought this awesome cinnamon bread. That was a nice touch!

Huh? Never in my life have I been in a ward where the sisters brought the sacrament bread. They do things a bit differently down in San Antonio, eh?

I have proposed using mini blueberry muffins as our ward's sacrament bread, but the idea doesn't seem to have gained much traction.

Some of you know that I've recently moved to within my mission. I intentionally did not move into a ward that I served in, but I still travel around and follow up with people who I taught 7 years ago. I spoke to an old investigator on the phone Saturday night, and he said he would attend church. So I left at 7 to get to that ward by 9, but I was stood up.

Just like old times!

In Priesthood, the primary came in and sang I'm so glad when daddy comes home. I cried.

Afterwards, there was a homemade cookie and brownie smorgasborg. Mmm mmm mmm!!

Cookies.

And brownies.

And more cookies.

And more brownies.

Greatest Fathers Day ever.

My son thinks things could be sped up by using croutons. His belief is that we could skip the sacrament hymn by not having to break the bread.

Maybe we should start using wafers. And grape juice.

The young women gave the fathers in the ward Snickers.

And that was pretty much it. Sacrament meeting was taken by the Young Men - kind of a glorified Duty to God award thing. Six or seven of the young men gave talks on various principles of the gospel. Even the primary got bumped by a men's quartet singing a hymn.

I was fine with it, although I was guilted into sharing my snickers with my wife - the women only got single pieces of See's candy on Mother's Day.
