Thursday we did more piso inspections. Even though it wasn't July 4th, I thought the Elders would enjoy some chocolate chip cookies. I have to share the game that Elder Larsen told the missionaries that we were going to play while doing the inspections. He shared with them that there was a time when our children were little, and rowdy during church. To help motivate them to be quiet, we started rewarding them with ice cream after church. If they were quiet, they could have 4 scoops of ice cream. If they were acting up and wouldn't listen to us, then we just held up 3 fingers, and they knew they had lost one scoop of ice cream, then 2 fingers, etc. Most of the time, this worked really well, but we did have certain children who sometimes got down to no scoops, and the motivation was gone. Nothing is perfect! Anyway, we had a list from the office telling us what to look for in the apartments. Elder Larsen told the missionaries that for each item that wasn't clean, they would lose a cookie. All of the missionaries were happy to find out that he was only kidding!

Elder Larsen had his first high council assignment to speak at the Telde Branch today, so we got to see these two wonderful elders.
