Sunday Dinner

The Missionaries (all four) and the Davis Family came over for dinner Sunday night. The Elders had a little lesson for us... We had to get the water from the plate to the glass without touching the plate, using the paper towel, the coins, and the lighter. We all gave our input and tried, but we were way off!



Elder Dickerson showed us the right way. It was REALLY cool, and since then, my boys have been wanting to light things on fire! The lesson taught us that there is always a way to accomplish what we need to do, even if it seems impossible.




Then they decided to light my table on fire! Just kidding, they were showing us another object lesson, I kept missing the cool part!




We all had a great time!



It was an evening to say farewell to Elder Shakespear, his mission is over, and he is heading home. Elder Shakespear, we will miss you!! Good luck!! We hope to see you in Utah!

We miss the missionary dinners. None of that happens here in old Utah. I still don't understand what they did, please explain further! And you are looking super cute!

Janan, the directions were: using a napkin, some coins, and a lighter, to get water from a plate to inside of a glass, without touching the plate. It seemed pretty impossible. They put a few coins on the plate, lit the napkin on fire and set it on the plate. Then they put the glass upside down over the napkin , and the water was sucked into the glass. I'm sure there's a scientific explanation, about the oxygen and such, but it was a cool object lesson!

Laurie, when are you going to create a blog?
