It's Good to be Irish

We celebrated St. Patrick's Day in style today. For dinner, I made a loaf of soda bread, a pot of corned beef and cabbage along with carrots and potatoes. After dinner, Page, Lacey and I sat down and watched "Darby O'Gill and the Little People" . We also heard from our laddie, Sean, by email in Argentina today. He is doing well and is very happy. You can read all about how he is doing on his blog. Our blessings definetely outnumber the shamrocks in the fields.....
Happy St. Patrick's Day

Elders Over for Dinner


Elder Jensen, Elder Cook, Elder Hernandez and Elder Bautista

We had the Missionaries over for dinner on Tuesday night. We made a dinner of steak, baked potato, salad and rolls. We also made sauted mushrooms for the steak, mmmmmmm. We would have also had apple pie and ice cream, but I burnt the pie. Yep, I was so busy reading Sean's email from Argentina, I lost track of time. So Page saved the day with a chocolate cake from the market.

Here is a picture of the Elders getting ready to sing to us after the meal. Now that is truly "singing for your supper!". It is nice to have them in our home. I think of Sean and how the members in Buenos Aires are feeding him too and making him feel welcomed.

Elder Jensen is the zone leader and works in Cody. He is from the San Diego, CA area. Elder Cook is a missionary in our ward and is from Mesa, AZ. Elder Hernandez is from Guatamala and is working in Cody, and Elder Bautista is in our ward and from Aculpulco, Mexico. Elder Bautista came to this mission the same time Sean got to Argentina and he hasn't been transfered yet.
