Symproto

@pack_llamas Thank you 🙏

@symproto Such a bittersweet feeling! God bless your family!

And he's off. Not easy to let him go, but Thailand is lucky to have him. #calledtoserve

@james_IA76 Very true!

@symproto He’s going to draw a lot of attention. Thai’s don’t see a lot of really tall white kids.

@EriePaWil @Lovemyproxy Which mission?

@symproto @Lovemyproxy Very cool! My wife and I are called to Pakistan, but with the tensions we’ll be going to Thailand on 4/20, until we can get to Pakistan. Maybe we can connect with him.

@NoblestCalling That is awesome!

@symproto My mom is Thai and joined the church there! She still has family there. I am grateful for missionaries!

@agentjaredhok Oh, that is great to hear!

@symproto We’ve got 2 from our stake serving there now and they are loving it. The language was tough, but the work of the Lord is moving forward.

@mozzy397562 Your next, but I suppose that’s how people grow up.

@symproto Congrats!

@mozzy397562 Thanks! It’s hard, but good.

@k_clayt That is really cool. We have heard it’s a great place. We are open to spying on him, so if you decide to go back :)

@symproto No, but I've been there and would happily go back. We went 3x when we lived in Asia: to Phuket, Railay Beach (near Krabi), and Bangkok. Railay was our favorite. Also we didn't bring our kids that time, so maybe that had something to do with it lol.

@InqstvMuse I know I have sent this to you before, but it still feels appropriate. youtu.be/RWHveUbWXP4

@symproto Thank You 😊

@InqstvMuse Oh, awesome! And Happy Birthday!!

@symproto He's good! He just got a new companion from Utah, and I got to talk to him yesterday for my birthday 😍

@k_clayt Are you in Thailand?

@symproto Congrats! I'd be happy to go check on him if you need a set of unrelated, third party eyes. Just let me know when he's in the Railay Beach area. (Actually anywhere works.)

@InqstvMuse Thanks! How is your missionary doing?

@symproto Omygosh!! I'm so happy for you 🥰

@InqstvMuse This was such a great talk.

"At a fundamental level, charity certainly includes acts of compassion, kindness, and generosity directed toward others." "But at a higher and even holier level, charity is the VERY ESSENCE of the end toward which we are enduring, becoming new creatures in Christ." #GeneralConference

@InqstvMuse I like it!

@symproto Thanks for that insight! I just read up on some of the things he and others have said, and I think I'm going away with "strange fire" meaning a deviation and perversion of the ways of the Lord.

What do you think the "strange fire" was?

@InqstvMuse @BlueBoxDave How did you like it? I served in Siena and saw il palio in person, so that was fun for me.

@BlueBoxDave Just saw Solo Mio, do Kevin James.

I think I could write at least one good joke for almost any prominent comedian.

"[I have] genuine gratitude for those precious teachings when one needs to pause, at least for a moment, to enjoy the faith - instead of defending the faith." Neal A Maxwell

What was the worried thing you said to me?

@kimah All is great, just not on social media much anymore. How are you doing?

@symproto Funny, I was just thinking yesterday that I hadn't seen you for a long time. Hope all is well.

And gaze with fondness on the wrong one.
