You eat first because your big hun

I still can't get use to eating before the children. Which is a costume down here. The adults are served first, we had a family home evening planed for the family of Mary and when we got there they sat us down and gave us a big bowl of corn and chicken soup. They even had some soda pop for us to drink, and while we were eating one of the little girls ask the mother for some soup and the mother told her that she would have to wait, and the little girl started to cry. It was almost more then we could handle. I told Connie that they do this not only to be kind but they also are hoping for the blessing that it would bring to feed the missioners. The mother talked about how the children had helped to shuck the corn and then grind it up to make tortillas and the soup. Any way we got past that and started family home evening. The kids knew that we were coming and had waited all day for us to show up. So when we got there they were ready. We started up talking about faith and a seed and had them find some seeds for us.
They found all kinds of seeds, corn being one of them, and we talk about how one seed can grow and produce all kinds of fruit or be lost and not produce nothing. Just like faith you have to plant it and work with it to have good fruit. Later it was time to do some songs and games, the kids did very well and we had a lot of fun. We pasted out the treats and said good by and of course invited them out to church Sunday.
