Elder Conrad is enjoying 'Home MTC'. I hung around a little this morning before heading out to work so I could see him, give him a hug and let him know I loved him. 6:30am his alarm went off and he was right out of bed. He has always been good at getting out of bed. I have heard stories from various Moms who have had tried every trick in the book to get their kids out of bed. I have never had to do that with any of my children.  Their alarms go off and they are up and moving. 

The missionaries have found out about his love for ties. He was asked how many he has - over 100! He has a love for ties as his Mom has for shoes :) This is a collection of ties he purchased or was given while we were on European trip in 2019. The 'greenish' one on the bottom left side was my Dad's. It was his 'rugby league' tie and my Mum was delighted to give it to her grandson, knowing he would take good care of it. The one on the top left was my junior high school tie, or maybe it was my sister's or brother's? ;)

Elder Conrad had a nice break in between dinner. I asked if he would like to go for a walk in the neighborhood to get some fresh air and move around. He happily accepted the invitation.  We walked over to our dear friends home - Weston Butler. We had a great chat with him and he gave my son some wonderful advice. His wife Wendy, made some delicious brownies for the open house this past Sunday and they were absolutely delicious. Among other gifts, they gave Elder Conrad a 'TIE'. 

I am sure he will be teaching many missionaries and others all the different ways to 'tie a tie' :)

Choice of dinner: Chick-fil-A

Finishing the evening with a devotional and study! 

"We love you Elder Conrad"
