"District Meeting then Old Country Buffet"


BAY SHORE'S SIX MISSIONARIES AT DISTRICT MEETING

Every Friday we have district meeting with the fifteen missionaries in our district. The current look of that district changed quite a bit at with the last transfer - many left and many came. We love them all!

Our district leader assigned lessons to be taught Friday on charity and service. They were beautifully presented from Preach My Gospel and the scriptures.

'HAPPY BIRTHDAY LUNCH'
Where do you take a bunch of starving missionaries after a two-hour district meeting? Oh yes...the Old Country Buffet should do just fine...especially if it happens to be Elder Caramia's birthday. We celebrated all birthdays in a 3-months period of time:-)

(L to R: Elders Alder & Johnson, Sisters Frodsham & Goldthwaite, Elders de Paula, Caramia & Carcel.)

We felt bad that three sisters from our district were not able to meet with us today because of a temple trip to Manhattan. We're quite certain their day was wonderful, and we will do this again.





We LOVE those salads!



(L to R: Elders Oliverson, Lee, Law and Maughan.)

We had a great time eating and visiting with the elders and sisters...and checking to make sure they were getting a good balanced meal:-)

Sister Bennion would have been so proud of the huge salads elders...as would your moms!

I don't even have to know those missionaries, and I love them. I love all missionaries. I love seeing pictures of any missionaries anywhere. I love every young missionary in the Peru Lima East Mission and (through blood relatives) in the NY NY South Mission! Keep 'em happy, Sister!

Those missionaries are soooo lucky to have you guys in their mission "looking out" for them. I know they appreciate it!

When I saw the name 'Frodsham' I wondered if it was the same family as Rachelle's friend...indeed!

This was a hit! I'm so glad you took so many pictures and can only imagine how many clean plates were filled and then carted away. You two are such a great support to all of us who are serving in this mission. Thanks for all you do.
