Conference pot luck dinner

Carolyn came up with the idea of inviting the other four sets of senior missionaries to come to our apartment for a pot luck dinner (she prepared her famous western meal in one) and the other folks brought salads, desserts, bread, etc.) The idea was for people to come after the saturday PM session, eat, and then the brethren would all go off to the Priesthood session at the stake center while the hermanas would stay and visit. My initial thought was that this would never work for a variety of reasons I imagined but it was clear that Carolyn's was determined so I did what I could to support the idea. And it actually worked very well. The group of senior missionaries are diverse and interesting people, all doing different kind of missionary work -- including our welfare and humanitarian services, the perpetual education fund, auditing, medical and psychological support to mission presidents, and family history. Here is a photo of the group (minus a good sister who took the photo).
