Bob's Greenie


Bob's replacement is a member of our Stake Presidency. Garrick Parr is a tall, gray hair, distinguished looking kiwi who is about 5 yrs younger than Bob. They have traveled together to Samoa and Tonga. Bob has the luxary of having 5 weeks to train him. He has not really been in HR but will be a great asset to the church in many many ways. They have come back with fun companion stories. They have both had major flashbacks of their missionary days. They dress like missionaries and are together always. They stayed in houses on campus so felt like they were flatting again. They get up and walk early for exercise. They have companionship prayer. They eat a half a box of cereal while they study their scriptures and discuss them together. Then it is off to work. They hit a roadside stand to get their chicken hot dogs, frozen veggies and chips for dinner after they did a temple session. Then companionship prayer before going to their rooms for bed. They were thrilled to get home to their "real" companions even though they loved the 30 year flashback and their time together.
