Day 144--Feeding the Elders

We love having the missionaries over for dinner....Elder Lebbie and Elder Packer.  They only laugh a little when I take pictures of all the food and we love the spirit they bring into our home.  All of the kids adore them, but Ellie in particular has become good friends with both of them.  Elder Packer has been in our ward for over 7 months now, so we are expecting that sometime soon he will be transferred.  :(  

Day 109--We ♥ the Missionaries!

We always enjoy the missionaries coming to our home and sharing their happiness and zeal for the gospel with us.
Today Ellie fell instantly in love with the new missionary--Elder Lebbie from Sierra Leone who kept her entertained with paper flowers and magic tricks.

Of course, after six months in our ward Ellie also adores Elder Packer and kept running over to give him quick hugs.

Day 83--Joint Birthday Party

Ellie and Elder Packer both blew out the candles on the layered pudding cake Spencer and Emma made for the occasion. Ellie has hardly taken off her princess dress since receiving it and is totally basking in all the attention she gets from old ladies wherever we go.

Elder Packer may have been a little embarrassed he shared his birthday with us after I put it in this week's program so the whole ward would know.
