Rock Melon


Last night we had the missionaries over for dinner. We had grilled pork chops, cheesy potatoes, zucchini and Rock Melon (which is what the Elder from Australia called cantaloupe). We had a great dinner and visit. There were three Elders, Elder Rasband, from Texas, has been on his mission two years and is going home on Wednesday, the Elder Paea, from Australia just had shoulder surgery and will be heading off to the Philippians soon to serve his mission, and then Elder Lee, from Maryland, has been out for 1 year.

Elder Rasband then gave us a short message of the importance of having balance in all things. He did a really neat object lesson for us. He took a salt shaker with a toothpick stuck in a hole then had a spoon a fork and another toothpick that he told us we had to balance the other three objects on the one toothpick. Everyone tried but couldn't figure it out. It was amazing how it actually works.
