Today was our 3rd annual YW Christmas Lunch. We kidnap all the girls immediately after Sunday School (with the Bishop's permission of course) and bring them over to our house for a special lesson & lunch. We listened to a beautiful guitar vocal by our only senior YW. (Boo hoo...we'll miss you Kristen!) A Dad of three of our YW did a masterful job of introducing the theme for next year which is, "Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest." (Joshua 1:9) Another one of the Dads makes crepes for us each year so we get to enjoy those with ham and turkey and cheese sauce, as well as berry & banana crepes with homemade chocolate sauce & caramel sauce and lots of whipped cream! Some of the girls start with the dessert crepes! Isn't the saying, "Life is short, eat dessert first." Oh yes, we polished off a huge crock pot full of potato casserole as well. Talk about a yummy meal!
I can't tell you how much I love these girls and how much I enjoy being around them. I'm so blessed with this calling. 
What fun!!! You are a lucky lady to spend time with such wonderful people. I notice 4 whip cream cans on the table - was it enough?
ReplyDeleteWE used them all...and the 25 girls ate 90 crepes! Some of the leaders didn't get any. Next time we'll have to tell them to ONLY have 3 crepes!
