. . . i'm jealous . . .

. . . he's the only person i know who,

given the choice of two lessons,

picks one {the day before giving it}

and then can keep

a whole room full of teenagers

and a few old people

{hi, bishop!}

captivated for nearly an hour . . .

. . . and can gracefully incorporate

stories and personal experiences

about his favorite subjects,

including {but not limited to}

missionary work,

his childhood,

our family,

old girlfriends,

sports and

politics . . .

. . . he ties them all together . . .

. . . and makes it look easy . . .

. . . and it totally relates and works . . .

. . . every time . . .

. . . good job, dear . . .

{all i have to do is bring treats}
