We had a birthday party for Elder Smith the other day and it was a lot of fun. These four elders will eat anything you put if front of them but the party food was great and not what they have everyday. Sister Nielson fixed burritos and chocolate chip cookies and home made salsa with plantain banana chips. We even had crystal light to drink. It was a special dinner for a special missionary.
If you think that they really don't eat dogs here then maybe this will convince you otherwise. The heads and paws were the only things left after supper at one of the investigators houses. Two unnamed elders who are neighbors had dog stew and didn't know it till later in the evening. They said it really wasn't that bad.
Elder Smith and Elder Nielson walking to meet with a member who was not going to church. The people here are real receptive to the gospel and want to be baptized but sometimes they need a little encouragement to keep them interested and attending church. The Lords work here is being done by some awesome young missionaries. They work very hard and spread the gospel wherever they go. We are very privileged to be able to be among them and find it a pleasure to help them in anyway we can.
Awesome pictures! "unnamed Elders' ate the dog stew ..... Glad it didn't taste to bad, I would bet it isn't the last time they have some interesting stew. Thanks again for having a blog, we love it at our house! Mike & Tamie
ReplyDeleteJust returned from the Bringhurst reunion. The blog address was distributed to all. It was a wonderful gathering of approx. 80 relatives attending. Angie and family did a wonderful job of pulling off another gathering. We missed both of you but are very excited to hear of your adventures. Kimberly's newborn child is so cute. We love you both and always wish you well. Carl and Teresa
