On a Random Mission

Yesterday, I did something completely out of character.

I approached two well-dressed young men and asked if they would like me to take their picture.

I even suggested how they might like to pose.

Let me explain ... 

I follow Heidi Swapp on Instagram and via her blog. 

As well as being what you might call a big noise in the scrapbooking industry,

she is also a Mormon and the mother of a son currently serving a Mission in Japan.  

Although I am not a Mormon, some family members are,

and having come from, and served in the military,

it's all too easy to imagine how much you miss someone when they are away.   

But I digress ... bottom line is this, Heidi frequently suggests that if you meet 

a couple of Missionaries (they're always in pairs)

 when you are out and about, stop them, chat to them and then take a picture ... 

to send to their parents.

(During a two-year Mission, the Elder/Sister Missionaries are only allowed

to contact home, via email, once a week.)

So that's why I did what I did yesterday.

And I feel pretty good about it, too!
