Excerpt from Sis. Larsen:
We had a busy, busy Monday, since we invited the missionaries to come and join us for their P-day. We plan to do this once a month. This time, since we have three functioning cars on the island, we were able to have the 7 missionaries from Las Palmas, and the 6 elders from Vecindario and Telde. Everyone started arriving around noon. It was a busy, fun household.
Emails were written.
Elder Poulson and Elder McWhorter
Ping pong was played.
There was a game or two of soccer.
A few card games were played.
Elder Poulson, Hermana Grover, and Hermana Irigoyen
And of course, there was plenty of food to be had.
We really do love these missionaries!
Wednesday was crazy as usual. I hit the kitchen bright and early. We had done a lot of chopping and slicing the night before, so I didn't think things would be quite so busy, but, somehow when we fix and transport meals for two groups, it just makes for a busy day.
For the district meeting, I made chicken pasta salad, homemade Jewish Sweet Bread, and Texas Sheetcake Cookies. I had seen the recipe on line, and finally decided that I would give up 1/2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips to try the recipe. I did read a few comments about the recipe and added 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Absolutely delicious.
Our meeting was wonderful. These six missionaries love the Lord and want to share the message of Jesus Christ with the people here on the island. It was a little bit sad knowing that Elder Lopez would be leaving us this Sunday as he will have completed his two years and is headed back home to Mexico. I enjoyed hearing him share his testimony and his love for his Savior. And of course they loved the food.
