I got up early on Wednesday morning and started my Jewish Sweet Bread first thing. I was just starting to make a batch of cookies when the electricity went out. It has flickered before, so I wasn't too worried until 5 minutes passed, 15 minutes, 30 minutes and still no electricity. I am totally not equipped to prepare meals without electricity. Elder Larsen went next door to see if the neighbor had electricity. Apparently they posted flyers on the doors saying that the electricity would be out that morning for 3 hours. Seriously! Immediate change of plans. We were late for the district meeting as I had to have a blow dryer before we could go. Elder Poulson, who is our new district leader, gave a wonderful message about John 15. He talked a lot about the Lord being the gardener of the vineyard and how He will cut off the branches that are not bringing forth good fruit. Then in verse 14 it says, “Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.” What a wonderful message that the Lord truly can be our friend. That is the relationship that He wants to have with us. A great lesson from Elder Poulson.
Afterwards, no home-cooked meal.
Instead, we treated them to the local Chinese Buffet in Telde.
The food was tasty and enjoyed by all.
Elders Dyer, Gentry, Poulson, Rawlinson, and Larsen
