We have the tradition of preparing a special meal for any assistant to the president who was going home or returning to the field. We let them pick who they would like to come and what they want for dinner. Since we won't be here when Elder Ilagan and Elder Nielsen return we thought we'd honor them both on the same day. So they invited some of their closest friends. Living in Solano near his sister (Sister Ilagan) is Sister De Luna a brand new missionary. She is Mexican but grew up in the US. She is a great cook and Elder Ilagan has fallen in love with Mexican food. So we invited her to come and cook the meal.
Here's the menu:
Homemade Salsa
Chicken Fajitas with homemade tortillas
Refried Beans
Watermelon
Homemade Cookies and icecream
Sister DeLuna got all the other missionaries to help prepare the food and then we all enjoyed a wonderful Mexican feast!
We have loved every one of our assistants. They truly spend every waking minute helping to assist in the workings of the mission. We love them and appreciate them!
Sister Diola, Sister De Luna and Sister Ilagan help in the kitchen
Elder Robinson and Elder Dixon are now in Burgos Zone and they came with their barangs--just for the party and soon they switched back to their missionary attire.
The food was awesome
Elder Mortensen and his companion came from a football game in Angadana and hadn't changed yet.
Elder Volpe, Proctor, James, Lasay with Elder Ardon and Elder Ilagan in the back.
Oh how we love these missionaries!
