Missions Meeting

Well, we are half way into our Missions Meeting. It always goes by much faster than I want it to. We spend so long preparing, and then "wooosh"....it's over.

We are having an exceptionally good meeting. The missionaries have been tremendous! There have been a few years when the missionaries were not-so-great. Really, it was only one year...several of the missionaries that came that year just weren't on the same page. And it makes you feel so bad...you want everyone to come and be happy about being there, but when there are doctrinal issues, especially about the qualifications of a preacher, it's hard to make things something they are not.

All the ladies have been cooking for the missionaries each night. One of the great perks of being the Pastor's family is being invited to eat with the missionaries each night. I haven't had to cook all week! ;-0

We are having late nights, long talks, and lots of fun. My children are especially enjoying their visit with the Hof family from South Dakota. Missions Meeting is usually our Spring Break, so the late nights aren't too bad. I think all the kids from Church are having the time of their lives! Soccer has been the after church activity practically every night.

I'll upload some pix later. I'm still contending with a nasty kidney stone-I don't feel like fooling with the camera at the moment!
