We had the missionaries over for dinner last week. With their area covering 37 wards , the opportunity to have them in our home won't come very often.
In Texas, we had 6-8 missionaries and a set of senior missionaries just in our ward. We fed the missionaries almost weekly. My favorite was when we would have the missionaries and the people they were teaching over for dinner and a discussion. I figured they ate rice and beans all the time. For a change of pace, I would make a nice big casserole and a jello salad.
I think the missionaries up here probably eat enough casseroles so, this time we ate chips & salsa, tortillas, enchiladas, rice, beans, and tres leches cake. The problem is, one Elder was from Scotland and the other one was from Canada. They seemed to like it even though they didn't know anything about Mexican food. Hopefully it doesn't turn into one of those "On my mission, I had to eat....." stories.

Last Sunday when the Elders came for lunch after church, my mom offered them Menudo! Needless to say all of them refused and ended up eating my meatloaf. One of them said we should try out for that show "Fear Factor" because the menudo looked like something out of that show and that we would surely win the $50,000 prize. I said only if they give me tortillas and salsa!
Those Elders are just big wimps!
Of course, I've never eaten Menudo, but that's different.
My boys love Fear Factor. Aaron & I just don't have the stomach for it, so when you go on, you'll have to let us know.
