But here’s something that I got a kick out of.  It’s a tweet that Tanner Mangum sent out at 10:59 AM on 5 July 2013 — somewhat more than two years ago, before he left for his mission in Chile:

 

“I love it when I hear people say I’m throwing away my career by serving a mission.  It’ll make it that much sweeter when I prove them wrong.”

 

He may already have accomplished that.
