It is the day the elders "are supposed to" clean their apartments, do their wash, shop for their groceries, write letters home and take a few minutes to rest and relax. By 6 pm they are supposed to be back in their white shirts and ties doing what they do best...looking for someone who will listen to their message of the restoration.

Most Mondays the 14 elders in our zone come for lunch at our apartment. I cook for them because I know the rest of the week they eat mostly peanut butter sandwiches and Mac and Cheese.
Some of the meals I've fixed for them are burritos, homemade pizzas, enchiladas, spaghetti, hamburgers, and bbq chicken sandwiches. Sound yummy? Of course! And I always make 1-2 yummy desserts.
I assure you they all go home with their bellies full and happy.
Sometimes before lunch they play basketball. Last week they came prepared to play but when they were ready to play, it seemed noone had brought the basketball. They didn't seem too disappointed...especially because it was pouring rain outside.
So, after they sprawled out on my bed and laughed a while, they decided to play a little dominoes... (Elders Toupou from Australia, Rosalies from Guatemala, Beeson from the States, and Ali from Guyana)

They were so anxious to eat they decided 11 am was a great time for lunch. So, they began early to stuff themselves with enchiladas and lots of ice cream and cookies...(Elder Lang)

Anyone else care for a chocolate chip cookie?

They exchanged photos with each other with the help of my computer... (the newest Elder Jones)

And, glued pictures on the covers of their planners... (a different Elder Jones and Elder Winzenreid)

The faces on Elder Jones' planner cover are of our mission president, President Gamiette, along with his wife and 5 children.
Some of these planner covers are really creative. Check out this one with a picture of the famous anaconda on it.

Last week they played basketball for a couple of hours in a downpour. When they arrived at my house they were all sopping wet, so they all showered at our apartment and dried their wet clothes in our dryer.
It must be almost 6 pm because Elders Lang and Jones are back in their missionary duds and ready to get back to work. These two live close by us and we spend a lot of time going with them to their appointments. They're teaching us how to be proselyting missionaries.

At our zone meeting later in the week I was able to photo all their works of art (their planner covers)at the end of the meeting. I liked their feet as they admired their handiwork. Can anyone find my big toe?

Here's a little glimpse of the whole zone at an all-you-can-eat pizza lunch at Pizza Hut after the meeting. If you have a son in the Trinidad South Zone, look for him in the photo gorging himself on pizza?

This is a flyer one of the elders had with him. It was advertising something at the Catholic church. Does anyone notice anything familiar about it?

Sister Bullock,
I think you and Elder Bullock must cook non-stop.
Thank you!
