missionaries for dinner

We had the missionaries over for dinner tonight. So fun!

I've never cooked for missionaries before... I learned some things tonight:

1. You need more food than you think.
2. Once recipe of sloppy joe's that can serve 10 is barely enough for the 4 of us.
3. Don't plan on having leftovers for upcoming meals.
4. It's so fun!

The missionaries are such great guys. It's cool to hear their stories about teaching others. Especially a story they told about a sister in our ward that had been having missionaries approach her and mingle with her for 7 years before she was converted. Now she is incredibly enthusiastic about the church and shares her story with so many people! She invited about 30 people to our ward BBQ on Labor Day and about 15 of those people came. It's pretty incredible what a few people can do and the impact they can have on others for a lifetime.

Overall, it's just good to have the missionaries over because they leave your home with such a sweet, happy, peaceful spirit.
