Friday District Meeting/ Surprise lunch at Applebees!

I stole this post from the dePaula's blog. I'm sure going to miss this when they go home at the end of the month!

"Fridays are always days with "our kids" at the church for district meeting. We're not in charge. They are - and what great leaders and teachers they are, teaching from "Preach My Gospel."After the meeting there was a "secret" plan to take Sister Burton to lunch for her birthday. That was a good idea, but these young missionaries are allotted barely enough money each month to buy the basics, if that, let alone any extras. So Elder de Paula and I decided to treat them all to Birthday Lunch. The looks on their faces was worth more that a fortune!"

What a wonderful, generous couple!

New Companion- Number 8

Elder Maughan and Elder Merrill (Rexburg)

Elder Maughan and Elder Merrill, the sister missionaries, and the Spanish speaking elders, along with Elder and Sister dePaula had Easter dinner at the home of the Cruz family.

Elder Maughan found out that Sister de Paula was in the Mormon Tabernacle choir when John Williams came to Salt Lake City for the Olympics in 2002. (Elder de Paula retired in 1997)

John Williams is one of Elder Maughan's favorite composers so he probably had a nice visit with Sister de Paula!
