Feed them and they will come...Friday is District or Zone meeting. So, if you have to meet, why not eat. That's how the elders feel. Everybody gets an assignment, prepares what they can at home, then comes together to assemble, set the table and eat.
Today the menu was sliced fresh pineapple, huge black grapes, oranges, sausages and scrambled eggs, french toast, grape juice, orange juice, fresh hash browns, milk, muffins, and huge homemade cinnamon rolls. Let's see....is that all?
Everybody pitches in with food and also helps with cooking, setting tables or cleaning up. After adequate time for eating and a few moments of socializing, there is district business to attend to. These are wonderful, committed elders and sisters! Elder de Paula and I are honored to be working as senior missionaries among them:-)

Wow, you guys are having fun. I know you're working hard but it's also good to see that you can combine fun and work.
i was absolutely and utterly supported, loved and relieved to have the senior missionary couple, the marks, with us in russia and i am SURE those sisters and elders feel the same...
That's my girl! Tucked behind Sis. Dymock in the picture! I am Sister Rogers from Idaho, and you have my dear daughter serving in your mission! Your blog is awesome, and it is so wonderful to see the pictures and read the stories! It warms my heart to know she is among such wonderful people! If you see her, be sure and give her a hug from me! How I miss her sweet spirit! Thanks for all you do, and for the fun blog! :)
Sister Rogers in Idaho....
Thank you so much for writing!
We LOVE your darling daughter, the oldest in your family with a bunch of brothers, if memory serves me right:-) She is very proud of her family and loves you all dearly.
Sister Rogers is committed, humble and happy! We are enjoying her in the Bay Shore ward.
Between Conference sessions on Saturday, Elder de Paula and I took the Elders and Sisters to lunch at the Old Country Buffet near the chapel. It was a fun outing to be with them in that setting.
Keep in touch...I'll get some more pictures up shortly:-)
Sister de Paula
