Pioneer Day Service

I'm behind, but the following pictures are from Pioneer Day. Ben left at 5 pm to help someone with their roof and came back at 10 pm looking like this...

If it's not obvious, he looks like a chimney sweep compared to his normal self. I almost didn't let him in. I didn't recognize him when I came to the door. Then he smiled and I definitely recognized that.

I asked, "What happened?!" I thought he got in a mud fight, or got mugged, or was in the sun too long... (not really :)
He said, "I just did the most demanding physical labor of my life."
Apparently removing shingles off of a roof is pretty hard work. Plus, there were double than normal because instead of getting a new roof, the previous owners topped a second layer on. Ben loved getting to know some new members in the ward, but he was sure tired. But he's still smiling in the picture. That's Ben for you.
