FIESTA AT THE TOMKINSONS


You knew it had to happen sooner or later...a party at Elder and Hermana T's. Well last evening about 5:00 the office elders called to see if they could come over and eat at our house that evening. They knew that I had put on a pot of beans that night before. Of course we said yes....about 9:00 ten missionaries showed up to eat. Luckily my beans had turned out too salty, so I made another pot and combined the two. We had two crockpots full of red beans ready and tons of cheese. They brought additional tortillas (I only had a couple dozen) and some jalapenos. President Gomez had teased them earlier in the evening that they couldn't come over and they were pretty bummed...but when 8:00 came around he asked them what they were going to do and they said go home...he said "What about the Tomkinson's?" We had 10 happy elders...and a house full of laughter. It felt good to be feeding teenagers again!
