One foot into apostacy as we stepped across the mission boundry to get this photo. We saw it as our way of blessing the English missionaries with our more righteous Scottish missionary presence.

Great pics, Gaz.

I checked with the SCMC and discovered they had a secret photo of Mister Scratch in their archives, while on he was on his mission:

Well, I will give this a try.

My trainer was tough. He never let up on making sure I learned all the discussions, so I had to pass them off in all kinds of weird places, even the toilet.

Here is gramps, after 2 years and three months of proselyting in southern England, having just arrived in Dulles Airport, Virginia.

My mom is next to me and my grandparents are there also. They were serving a mission at the D. C. temple. I stopped in to visit them before going home to Salt Lake City.

Sorry for the really bad quality of that one. I don't know who took that picture.

I still look like a kid. And I thought I was so mature.

I was married seven months later!

Here is gramps, out about 16 months now, serving in Dover.

Hanging out in a small village close to Dover, checking out the Tudor mansions.

Here's my favorite; it's not me, but rather an obnoxious elder from one of the Venezuelan missions. I found this posted on the mission website shortly before the North American missionaries were reassigned out of country:

I thought that picture on the toilet was you being snarky with some photo off the internet, but its real!

Little too much freetime eh? lol

I like that photo of you in Dover. I wish I could live over there, I loved the look and feel of that country. Thanks for sharing.

Capt. Jack,

I'll bet those guys saw drunks on the street every morning. We used to have groups that hung out on the corners drinking cheap wine called "Buckfast". Everyone called them the "Bucky boys". There was always a ring of broken glass around where they stood. We narrowly escaped a beating by them one time when we caught them trying to steal our bikes. (the one area I rode a bicycle in) My companion at the time was a former champion high school wrestler whose nickname was 2%, because he had 2% body fat, he walked right through them and unlocked his U-lock and held it like a weapon and we rode off. The whole time out of the corner of our eyes we could see them picking up bottles and circleing us.

good times.
