We feed people! One part of our mission
that we were not anticipating is preparing food and feeding people. We do a lot of service involving food, and we
love it! A fun surprise!
The Savior taught and fed
people and so do we!
We are enjoying some loaves and fishes experiences!
At the most recent BYU
Women’s Conference Sister Eubank said “We move the world in increments of soup
and cake”, and that applies to Coshocton, Ohio.
We do food!
For example, here is an 14 day sampling just showing that we have done something every day involving preparing/serving
food:
Wednesday – Made birthday cake for branch president
and one other member to serve after institute class (we also teach the class)
Thursday
- Served food at the
community meals (various churches host)
Friday
– Provided meal for young elders
Saturday
– Made and delivered dessert to semi
active member for his birthday
Sunday – Took salad and cornbread for after
church dinner (Each Sunday several women
organize and serve meals at the church for the branch members who are disabled or live far
from the church building – about 15
people)
Monday – had all our new neighbors in for
dessert and get to know you chat
Tuesday – fed the young Elders and a widow in
our ward
Wednesday – Made treats for the Institute class (and
taught)
Thursday
– went grocery shopping-
to buy more food! Delivered little treats with invitations to our special Sacrament Meeting to inactive members
Friday- had single sister over for dinner
Saturday
– made brownies,
enchiladas and salad for the next day’s linger longer and fed the young Elders
Sunday
– helped provide meal after our special Sacrament Meeting and church for the entire branch and guests (called a linger longer- this is not every
week, just occasionally- many bring potluck)
Monday - Feed a single sister
Tuesday- Feed the young Elders
Wednesday- Help prepare and serve the meal at zone conference
Monday - Feed a single sister

We work together
and that is so enjoyable. We are working to create simple menus and recipes that are nutritious
and filling. We do this in addition to and between all of our other missionary work, so we don't have time to make anything fancy or elaborate,
just "home cookin"
just "home cookin"
And we serve it on mis-matched dishes, glasses and silverware that the mission gave us and it is just feels great!
John 21:16 has a new
meaning for us: “He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas,
lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He
saith unto him, Feed my sheep.”
