Mormon Cartoonist
I follow a blog called Mormon Cartoonist. This guy creates creative cartoons that he submits to the Friend, The Ensign, The New Era, and other LDS magazines. Many of his works make it to print. Anyway, as I as reading through some of his cartoons I started thinking about what would make a good cartoon. I can’t draw worth a darn so being able to create one on my own would be a disaster, but, I could come up with an original idea for a cartoon. So, I started looking around in my life for something that might be cool illustrated in cartoon. One evening while talking to my sons, I came up with an idea for a cartoon. So, I went to Mormon Cartoonist and suggested a funny premise. A few days later I received a response that he would take my idea and make a comic that would come out in February. Well, February is finally here and below is his cartoon based from my idea.

Christmas Service Project
My Dad has had a charity organization for many years called Charity Anywhere Foundation. Every year he schedules a service project to Mexico during the Christmas break. Each year I look at my schedule and my vacation days to see if I can make the trip and take my kids down. Each year it seems that it just doesn’t work out. However, this year was different. The stars aligned, the planets were in sync so it was time to go to Mexico. I was able to get off work, I had the vacation days, my kids were old enough and I had some cheap tickets for flights into San Diego. So, I loaded up 3 of my kids and we went to Tijuana Mexico over Christmas Break. Below is a video of what we did, both working and playing. We had a great time, we worked hard, we played hard, and we learned a little about what it means to live in the United States of America.
I’ll probably blog about some more stuff that I learned while serving in Mexico over the next few days so stay tuned.
Priesthood Session October 1st 2011
I saw that the church requested people to submit videos that show what we do to prepare for General Conference. The invitation is on this link. http://lds.org/church/news/members-invited-to-submit-video-of-general-conference-experiences?lang=eng
So, I decided to take my flip video along with me to the Priesthood Session of General Conference. After putting it all together I submitted it. We will see if they actually use it somewhere. There are a number of problems with my video so lets see if you can find all of the “legal” issues I might encounter.
Here is the video:
