Lunch With Bishop Dave Smith 7/6/2010

Bishop Dave Smith was in town and set a lunch date with Blake at Zuppas.  Dave has had a huge influence on all of my children but especially Blake.  In fact I am not so sure he didn't come in town just to take Blake to lunch before he went into the MTC.  Dave was Blake's YM President and a counselor to Steve when he was Bishop in Keller, in fact he was called to be the Bishop when we left.  He is fabulous with the youth.  We are so thankful for the Smith family and their friendship!
It was so fun to have Rick Wahlin walk into Zuppas as they were finishing lunch.  Rick was meeting Dave.  It felt like a reunion of sorts! Rick, Blake, Bishop Smith and Grant.  Grant was Blake's companion for the day as Blake was set apart here.  Grant was so funny about going everywhere with him.  At the end of the day he said it was too hard to be his companion and keep track of him.  I wish I would have bought him a little tie and name tag for the day.
Zuppas is one of Blake's favorite places to eat.  Joel (our son-in-law) also works there.  Blake was blessed with some great YM leaders in his youth and these two men are just a couple of them.
