Mission Life

We as the couple missionaries decided to fix breakfast for the elders so for three Monday mornings, we had a different zone come to our apartments and eat. Each Monday was a different set of Elders and every monday we served something different---pancakes, eggs and bacon or french toast, fruit and hashbrowns....they loved it!!!!

This is Sis. Benich and Sis. Hodges doing the cooking for that Monday, with Elder Skroski bringing his dishes to the kitchen.

We crowded them into our living rooms ---kind of a tight fit but it was fun. It was fun to meet the new missionaries as they came to these breakfasts.

Elder Raymond found a new way to park our truck!!!  Professor ( Bro. Matize) trying to figure out a way to get the truck out of this rotted out stump---it was high centered, the wheel wasn't even touching the ground....through a process of jacking up the truck and stacking bricks, Elder Raymond was then able to back the truck out...

An African greenbelt????

When Elder Raymond shook hands with Joel in his office, I was so touched---I had to have a picture! This is a true sign of BROTHERHOOD...

Of course, mission life has to have a little recreation doesn't it...especially when you are being instructed by 3 pro golfers who are in Zimbabwe!!!

We were able to go to the temple in South Africa. This Johannesburg temple has almost the same design as the Boise temple...so we felt right at home!

And yes! We had to have our picture taken at the front doors of the temple...it was an awesome experience to be there!
