I don't write and you think I'm seriously ill? Really? sigh...
Today, you should be receiving a letter in the mail. It has my tender mercy and a short letter. Also, I sent home a package but there isn't anything in it of worth - just random things I've collected that has nothing to do with anything, but I don't like to throw stuff away.
Another talent I'm developing on my mission is learning how to cook. I can now say that I am comfortable cooking for two. I think I could actually survive cooking all three meals and actually have variety in what I make. It's been fun. But, another idea we have to help reach out to members is to cook them meals and bring it to them - since a lot of young families are too busy to make dinner for the missionaries. So, could I have the recipe for: tuna casserole, Danish hot cakes, English toffee, and eggs goldenrod? I still have the missionary meals in minutes recipes (actually I have two copies), but these four meals I've been craving; and although they are easy and I'm sure I could make them, I wanted to be sure by getting the right recipe instead of experimenting.
Sorry I don't have a lot to say. I loved the four generation picture for little Michael's blessing. I'm excited to hear about my new little niece when she is born. Oh, and Andrea will be married in the end of January. Well...ever onward.
‘Make no small plans: They have no magic to stir man’s souls.’ This is the vision I have for the South. I believe that one day the South will baptize more people into the church than all other English speaking missions in the world together. There are great hosts of marvelous Baptists, and members of the church of Christ, Methodists and Catholics who are honorable people, and have faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and love him. As they see their church veering off to the right or to the left of these basic teachings, they will begin to search for the truth. And as pivotal teachers come into the church and have influence, we will see the time when we baptize hundreds and thousands, tens of thousands. In your day you will see a million members of the church in the South. There will be Temples plural in the Southern States. What a great call you have to serve with these marvelous people. ~Spencer W Kimball (1974)
