We got to be the lucky recipients of the Elder's service for the week --yeah! They worked in the yard all afternoon. It was so nice to have capable help in the yard. I am not implying that my wife isn't capable, but when both of us are outside with the kids, they usually start fighting, so I usually pretend I can't hear them and keep rototilling and let Michelle play referee. And she has to referee a lot, so not much gets done. Not only that, but Elders always seem to have something to prove and I love it. Maybe they are trying to outwork each other or something. I dunno. In any case, it was really nice to be on the receiving end of a service project.
Having the Elders over reminded me of my mission and I found a diagram that reminded me of the Filipino philosophy on food. The most famous dish in the Philippines is Lechon Baboy (roast pig). The pig is roasted over a fire and EVERY part of the pig is eaten. I remember eating at a fiesta during Christmas and almost every person was drunk. Kids were fighting over who got to eat the ears! No joke, they eat every part of the pig and the nastier the part may seem, the more desirous it usually was to have. For some strange reason they did this to goats, chickens, fish, etc. Even stranger was that I started to like it.
This picture was taken when Michelle and I went back to visit my mission with a bunch of old companions. Notice she is sitting in the background "eyeing" the feast that is about to be.
