This Mission Ring

My grandpa has a cool tradition of giving rings to his kids that went on missions to wear for the duration of their mission, and he continued it with his grandkids. They tend to be ruby rings. Since all of his rings are man-rings, he gave me a gorgeous necklace with a ruby in it. Because my price is far above rubies (name that scripture*).

Elder McCarthy rockin' that man-ring.

I've been on the hunt for a legit ring. It's proving to be difficult because I have freakishly tiny fingers.

Check out this legacy of missionaries from my family:

THIS MISSION RING

R = RULES:  Be obedient to mission rules at all times.  Follow the mission president.

I = INSPIRATION:  Prayer + Listening + Meditation + Obedience + Action = A humble missionary.

N = NEVER QUIT:  Work full time for 2 years for the Lord.  Work hard and smart.

                                      Grateful for your companion.  Be gracious to all you serve.
