We have a conference weekend tradition of making Bisquick Cinnamon rolls (not my favorite, but Dave grew up on them so now have all my kids) and I was wondering if I got some to the mission home, how could I let Joel know they were there for him to pick up. Lo and behold, I get a text one day from Brother Schwendiman (where Joel lives) and he says Elder McKinney requested cinnamon rolls for conference tradition and if I decided to do it, here's the address to drop them off! Oh my goodness! He gave me the address! Is this a test for the mom or what? ha ha. So I made the cinnamon rolls and arranged to drop them off Friday evening while Joel was at his dinner appointment (and he was actually going to be out until 9 p.m.). When we got there, I met the very kind Bro. Schwnediman and he said he had not mentioned to Joel that he contacted me! So it would be a surprise! It was fun to meet him and see where Joel is currently living (just a few blocks from the mission home actually). I dropped off the rolls and a bottle of orange juice and we were on our way back down the road! A fun Friday night date! We stopped at the Sandy Costco on our way home (Who else does date night at Costco besides us?). Here's a pan of our Conference Weekend cinnamon rolls...I guess without Joel here, we have leftovers! Of course Dave takes the biggest ones out of the middle...ha ha. What a fun weekend! Can't wait for Joel's email today!! And wasn't conference wonderful as always? LOVED it!

I grew up with those too….I user to make them when I was a little girl. I think the recipe was on the back of the box. I can still remember exactly what they taste like.
How exciting for you to get to actually stand on the same ground where your son lives. I think that's every missionary mom's day dream.
