We took a real P-Day today. Play-Day! We took the Ness'and the Harris' to Punta del Este. We were gone all day and then came to our apartment in the evening and BBQ'd hamburgers. We invited the Anderson's to join us as they had to work today. It was perfect weather too! The video tells it all!

Just some tickler photos that are part of the video.
The rest of the week was spent feeding missionaries of course.
Tuesday was Concilio and that is always an all day thing by the time we serve breakfast and lunch and do all the clean up. Then it starting raining like crazy so we waited around so we could give the missionaries a ride to their bus stops.
Thursday at noon, we fed 4 elders at our apartment and we BBQ'd pork chops for them. We had left over carrots from Tuesday, so I made carrot cake. Yummy! It would be a little better if the canned pineapple down here was a bit more pineappley. It only comes in rings and is kind of bland. I have to blend it to make my own crushed pineapple. But, of course no one else noticed. They went back to work full and content.

Friday I knew I was cooking for Elder Pin and Elder Leavitt. It was for Elder Pin's birthday dinner. Somehow though the other two elders that live with them got invited as well. I am totally fine with the more the merrier! So Elder Tucker and Elder Ford were coming tonight too.
We told Elder Pin it was his choice for food. At first he wanted beef stroganoff but when we told him we had a BBQ and could do pork chops, he quickly changed his mind. So, we did a complete repeat of what we did for lunch yesterday.
In the midst of all this prep work, Elder Pike calls me and sheepishly asks if I have any ideas about where 4 of them can eat for lunch. They have come in on the bus to attend the temple with one of their converts at 2:30 pm. They used all their money for the bus and had nothing for food. So, we BBQ'd hamburgers for them with all the fixin's. I think there must be some kind of Hogwarts magic going on that allows only missionaries to see a sign hanging outside my window. I think it says,
"Cocina de Hermana Burnett, abierto 24/7."
But, I wouldn't have it any other way!
It is really smelling bad outside!
Hooray for the people in orange!
