The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance

Church today. Really fun to see old acquaintances from the ward again. I learned that the missionaries are teaching an old investigator my trainer and I taught 20 years ago.

I made the Mexican meal for tea- heaps of people...the elders, Terri's sister and her family, a new couple in the ward, some friends of the Rechters, the Rechters and me...well, I guess it was only 17 people.....but it seemed like a lot.

Food today- hot cross bun for breakfast, my yogurt and salt and vinegar chips for a snack, real chips later, and my meal of chicken enchiladas, massive nachos with ground beef, corn, kidney beans, jalapeños, olives, cheese, and salsa...oh, and chips hahaha, my new favorite guacamole, rice- made by Stephen, fresh salsa- made by Terri, and a Pavlova- made by Stephen and lime fruit salad - made by Terri for dessert, plus I made chocolate chip cookies.

I spent time talking to the elder from the U.S. who seemed very shy and in need of some kindness- his companion seemed a rather rude lad - it was fun to re-live the mission days a bit telling him stories of my time in Bendigo. This may have been rather boring for the elder, but I tried.

Here are the pics. Of note:  I hand-trimmed raw chicken all by myself- something I never do and never wish to do again....and there are several up close snaps of Kelsey- she stole my camera whilst I was cooking and left some little gems for me.
