Are we really old enough to have the missionaries over for dinner? Isn't that something our parents do? Not us.
Well, apparently we fit into that catagory now. We had two elders eat with us this evening and it was fun to have them. (They didn't fake any seizures so I think things went well!!) The kids especially enjoyed having new people to show off to. Maybe a little too much... time outs were threatened about every couple minutes, I swear. Rachel, Kaden, Tye and Haley all took a liking to the elder from Quebec. He was happy to play with and entertain them while he waited for a young man to show up who he was supposed to go teach a lesson with. The other elder had already left with another soon-to-be missionary. They were really excited they had 6 lessons scheduled to teach tonight and needed to split up. (I don't know if they still call them "splits" or whatever anymore, so if you couldn't tell, I avoided using that word all together. I'm clueless when it comes to missionary lingo...) Anyway-- They declined dessert. One didn't want to gain the infamous "40 pounds" the average elder gains and the other doesn't like eating a lot of sugar... it makes him tired. It's a good thing I didn't put any effort into it. Ice cream sandwiches were all I offered. That just means more for ME! It was a fun experience and who knows when we'll get the opportunity again. Around here it may take 20 years!

That is great! We have never even been asked to have the missionaries over for dinner. I guess that is what happens when you live in Utah. I am glad you enjoyed it and it was probably good for your kids to see them.
HA! .I'm surprised. We always feed the Mish. And it's always fun to have them the boys love having them esp. in the Summer, they get to play baseball with them while I cook dinner. It's fun.
