We ate Mexican Burritos on an American Thanksgiving Holiday
in the Philippines. I guess that makes
us multi-cultural. I asked the
missionaries if they wanted chicken shish kabobs or Mexican food. They voted for Mexican food. We served chips and salsa, all the ingredients to
build your own burrito and banana cake with cream cheese frosting. The missionaries each ate 2-3 burritos, plus they
grated more cheese and made nachos in the microwave. It was fun to watch them enjoy themselves. They livened up our little apartment.
“Break the Fast” on
the first Sunday of each month has become a tradition for us in Naguilian that
we look forward to.
After church,
serving tables are set up and chairs are placed in a large circle around the
room.
All ages gather to share food, eat and
visit.
Steve and I got a kick out of two
little boys with their whip cream mustaches!
So Happy that this dear Sister is able to come to church again. She is very faithful and determined!
"Light the World One by One" is the 2019 Christmas initiative. It is hoped that this Worldwide initiative will touch hearts and change lives through simple acts of service. We are encouraged to share our experiences on social media using #LightTheWorld so we can inspire others to serve and celebrate the true meaning of Christmas. This is the post I shared:
We met Julie at her home last summer, but we hadn’t seen her for several months. The thought came to me that I needed to visit her. I made her some brownies and fruit salad. When we arrived at her home, she told us that her husband of 44 years had died 3 weeks ago. She was very happy to see us. #LightTheWorld
