mission story #17, or the mtc ducks
as i was driving to work today near sugarhouse park, i almost ran over a mallard. i turned the corner to see her waddling across the street. i thought it odd, until i saw she was chasing after a her man duck. it made me smile as i remembered that there was a pair of mallards that waddled around the mtc the whole time i was there. you'd see them pretty much everywhere, and they were always together. i forget if they had ducklings. i want to say no, but if i said yes, the picture in your mind would be so much cuter. anyway, the mallards always minded their own business and didn't seem to get mad, even when elder baucom chased after them like a mad man. they just ran away as fast as they could, probably wondering if there was any way they could get out of the mortgage on their current nest, in hopes of finding one with better neighbors.

That's a great story. I learned yesterday that one of the nurses at Dr. Ben-Jacob's office went to Ecuador on her mission back in the late 70's.
Up in Antioch there was a lady duck that used to hang around and every spring she would have 2 gentleman callers follow her around the neighborhood. It was funny.
Are your mission stories really numbered somewhere in your journal or do you randomly pick a number when you tell mission stories?
I'm just curious.
