"Welcome to the Mission"

Yesterday, we (Katilyn, Lisa, and I) went to our friend's house.  She's the ward chorister and is really nice, and randomly invited us over for ice cream!  Of course we said yes, because who's ever turned down ice cream??  Heehee.  Anyway, we went over at 3pm, and figured it'd just be a small bowl of ice cream and some chatting.

That was where we were wrong.

The "small bowl" of ice cream was a SOUP BOWL full of scoops of ice cream, a piece of cake, and some pudding stuff.  It was really good, but boy was there a lot!

We ate, we talked, and eventually finished our bowls.

At which point Vera told us to eat more.

So we did.

When she brought back my bowl with even MORE stuff on it, Kaitlyn and Lisa both sort of chuckled and whispered to me, "Welcome to the mission!!"  Haha.

I've been in several situations in various countries where I've chosen to eat more in favor of not offending someone.  But I think yesterday was the funniest to me, because Vera wouldn't eat more!  After scooping us all seconds (despite our attempts at turning more down), she took her plate over to the sink.  Lisa was like, "What?  You're not going to eat more?"  And she looked sort of sheepish and confessed that she didn't have room.

Say whaat?

Yeah.  Seriously.

Hahaha.  It made me laugh.

Then we finished our second bowl, topped it off with some fresh juice (nothing like orange juice to compliment chocolate ice cream...), and then talked for another hour.

I sure like her.  And everyone, really.

People are so nice.  I like them.

I'm not sure how to end this post....so...the end! :)
