In our apartment, I’ve gradually been adding photo prints to our living-room walls. We didn’t want to pay for fancy artwork, since this isn’t really our home, but we wanted something on the walls. It’s become our “mission wall”, with pictures of all the people we’ve met.
Sister Bodily was serving in the Valley when we first arrived, and we loved spending time with her. After a few months she left and served in various areas of San Diego. But now she’s back! And that means more photos as we’re with her.
The other day she was in our apartment, and counted all the pictures she’s in. She came up with an astounding twenty-four! (There are around three hundred in all, so that’s a sizeable fraction.) She was feeling pretty proud of that. Today as I was adding some more photos, several of them featured her, and I joked that the “Bodily Count” was rising.
Her companion, Sister Brown, decided she wanted to have her likeness all over our wall too, so when we bumped into her this evening she insisted on a picture with us. Another one for the wall!
The Bodily Count now stands at twenty-eight. The Brown Count is at four.
