Surprise Missionary Fireside

I got an email asking me to open the attachment and "HELP!" I'd been invited to join in on a youth missionary fireside, where I would speak for maybe 5 minutes about my mission and either share a funny story or a spiritual story. Dang. Do I really have to choose? There will be others sharing stories as well. And they asked us to send in 1 picture they will place on the projection screen while we speak. Well, I never replied because we had talked about visiting my husband's family this month.

Out of nowhere, I got an email asking where my picture was. So I didn't have a choice. Which is fine, I sometimes like being bossed around, ask my big sister! ;)

So here are my photo options I've given. Even though they said only 1 picture, I decided I'd send two and they could surprise me. I have a bunch of pictures elsewhere and glued and cut up (as if I'll ever finish that mission scrapbook, Amber!) I figured everyone gives the usual before baptism picture, so I wanted something that would bring a smile or maybe add character, since I don't have a forgeign language to share or a "dress caught in the pantyhose" story.

Here Sister B and I were at a birthday party. It was June and there flies everywhere. Sis. B couldn't handle it, so she put us to work while others were eating cake and opening presents. It was a good time. Those flies didn't know what was coming.


And here we are again. I think this one speaks for itself. I can't look at this picture without laughing. Possibly one of my favorites.

So now, which one would you choose? I think the flyswatter picture is a little dark, but I do love them both. I'll let you know which one surprises me tomorrow night. Hopefully they won't have to give me the your-two-minutes-are-up light!
