WE feed the missionaries breakfast every sunday morning before PEC meetings. Lastweek we talked about the upcoming rival game between BYU and Utah. Elder Argyle is from Bountiful. He is a huge Utah Utes fan...and talked a little smack and said that they would beat BYU this weekend. Well....after a back and forth battle the BYU cougars won in overtime. VICTORY!! I couldn't wait to feed the elders this morning. I had BYU place mats....and blue plates...and BYU football helmet stickers on their cups.
This BYU bear was the centerpiece on the table.
We had these BYU shirts hanging over the chairs the Elders sat at. Elder Lay also likes Utah....he is from St. George....but he is a greenie and he was to polite to talk trash about the cougars last week. When Scott picked the Elders up this morning he had on his BYU sweatshirt...and Elder Lay said that Elder Argyle said "We are going to have a BYU breakfast....I just know it."
I told Elder Argyle that he couldn't eat breakfast this morning until he posed with the BYU is # 1 sign. He thought I was kidding. He said he just couldn't do it. I told him we would eat in front of him...and the sausage for the breakfast burritos smelled so good. He finally took a picture.....he said he would tell his family he was forced into it.....what force?......he could have fasted today. The Elders had to speak at the assisted living center this morning so after they headed to that I printed off this picture and Scott had it hanging on the board during all of PEC...when Elder Argyle realized what it was he said "I need to burn that picture." Not so fast Elder.....Scott gave it to the bishop and he said he would put it in the display case in the hall. BYU is #1. We had so much fun teasing those boys this morning. Seriously....if they had any taste at all in college football teams it wouldn't have been such a big deal. But Utah.......UGH! Not acceptable in the Jackson household. That will teach Elder Argyle about talking smack about the Jackson's teams.
