Now THAT's what I call a Presidency visit!

I am leaving my office tonight after a hectic day of meetings, deadlines, reports, and general paperwork. As I walk to my car, my cell phone jingles at me. I have a text message from a phone number I don't recognize.

I open the text message and up pops a photo of a smiling Elder Rios and Elder Bellomy along with a short text about how well they are doing.

The message is from Dave Stephen's – Eldrew's Elders Quorum President from here in Centerville! He is in Texas on business and had Elder Bellomy's mailing address. His Houston business was just minutes away from their address. He stopped by on a whim to drop off some goodies and take them to lunch. When he arrived, the Elders were no where to be seen. However, he knew he was in the right place because there was a car with bikes on a rack...with a picture of Jesus in the car window.

He decided to wait a few minutes...and soon after Elder Bellomy and Elder Rios showed up. Dave said he spent a few minutes with the missionaries and took this photo. Dave reports that Elder Bellomy is looking good...is happy...and dedicated. The Elders had just eaten...so he did not take them to lunch — just a quick visit.

When I called Dave, I literally got happy cramps in my cheeks from non-stop smiling and laughing at Dave's description of Elder Bellomy and Rios.

Dave is some kind of Elder's Quorum Super Hero...I mean going all the way to Houston to make a Presidency visit to one of his Quorum members! Thanks Dave for making my day.

(Photo note: Observe Eldrew's hair cut. Before his mission, he was obsessed with his haircut...I mean OBSESSED. You will notice the short and choppy missionary cut. For Eldrew to be smiling in spite of a that haircut...he must really be happy.)
