Show M E NEH RDI G MR the next picture she s holding the baby the little girl. Th n thi up h r i a conglomerate of all of us. BEC: It's a nice looking group. 4 2006 MAX: The one standing with me up here, he lives up in Kamas. He sa manufacturers rep for Pella Windows and Doors and things. He's had one daughter and five boys. That was Arna's only granddaughter until little Megan came. We'll have to see some pictures of her. BEC: You've got a great family. MAX: Well, Arna and I were called on a couple's mission to Columbus, Ohio, in 1992. We served a mission there. I have to remember my introduction to the people of Columbus. I put it like this: "Columbus came to discover America in 1492. In 1992, we've come here to discover Columbus." BEC: That's good. MAX: Strange as it was, I asked the mission president...we got there just at conference time in the fall. I told him that I was Santa. I said if he thought it would be "applicable to your way of doing things, I'll have my Santa equipment sent out here so we can have a Santa party." He didn't answer me right quick then so I didn't do it. But he came to me a little later and said, "We'd like you to be Santa." So that meant I had to go rent some stuff. I'll tell you, when we had the Christmas social party with all the missionaries together, boy, it was special to them. They knew who Santa was. BEC: Well that's nice, Max. MAX: Then in 2000, we served another mission downtown, a service mission. What they had was a van going between the International Airport and Temple Square. Ama 42 |
