Family By Phone

Mark was in Chicago last week. He travels quite a bit - which is a bit of a problem when you're the Bishop. But, he's not the worst. His brother who just passed away lived in a ward in Florida where the Bishop was a SNOW BIRD! He was literally gone all summer to his home in Utah. I don't know how that worked - they must have been really hard up for a Bishop!

But, I digress...

Anyway, most nights he will call at 9pm and I put him on speaker phone and we have family prayer together. It's become our habit or tradition. Even when we can't be together, we can still have family prayer together. Sometimes he even calls in early to read the scriptures.

Our hope is that when the boys remember that dad was traveling quite a bit when they were young, that they will also remember he prioritized praying together as a family.

Oh, they will!! You just won't hear about it until they are in their 20's. Robert just confirmed that to us recently that he remembers Rob ALWAYS calling home on business trips for the nightly routine. Keep it up, they really DO remember.
