Brother and Sister Jacobe received their son back from his mission to Salt Lake City last week. He is going to work through the summer and start his college in the fall. His parents invited the elders that serve in the area and us to join them for dinner to share mission experiences and celebrate his return with them.
We served a mission in the Philippines and never had a meal like this one. It was a seven course meal with everything. I tried to eat just a little, but it was so good I ate a little more each course.
By the end of the meal we were full to the brim, but there were three more desserts to eat. I am so glad there were three, big, hungry elders to help us put a dent in the meal.
We had a wonderful evening together and shared many mission memories, experiences and expressions of gratitude for our families and the blessings of the Lord in our lives. We will always remember this meal and the love and hospitality that was shown to us.
