I walked to Walmart this morning and bought a roast and came home and put it in the crockpot. We are feeding the missionaries tonight and I wanted the roast to cook all day on slow heat. Later I went back to the store and got the rest of my groceries.
This afternoon I vacuumed and dusted and got out the china and crystal all for the missionaries. Stacy helped me fix the dinner. We had: roast beef, mashed potatoes and gravy, salad, corn, and rolls. For dessert Stacy made some brownies. At one point Elder Milne poured salad dressing on his potatoes because he thought it was gravy. James did the same thing. Oops, I thought I had made it clear which one was the gravy but I guess not. Elder Milne is from Logan, Utah and Elder Paige is from Grants Pass, Oregon. Right now they are teaching two people from our ward, Elliott Hall and a 12 year old young man. ( I forget his name). They are a little frustrated because Elliott will not commit to a date for baptism. Before leaving Elder Paige shared his favorite scripture story from the Book of Mormon, the story of the brother of Jared seeing the finger of the Lord and then seeing the Lord. It's always a spiritual experience to have the missionaries come over. It did take some effort though on my part. I pretty much prepared most of the day for it and was pretty exhausted after doing the dishes.
This evening James and I watched the Republican presidential debate with the four candidates that are left: Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich, and Ron Paul. I am a big Mitt Romney supporter although I do see good in all of the candidates. I am a little irritated with Ron Paul because he is kind of the revolutionary and is taking away alot of Mormon's from supporting Romney.
