Jack's Birthday

Today I got up early to frost these. Treats for the young men & young women at church- since it's Jack's birthday & Sky's son's birthday too!
We went to meet Elder Thompson. Cool missionary who just got home from Chile two weeks ago. Yep, he was with our missionary just a month ago. They weren't companions but in the same zone. It was so fun to hear him speak about his mission, the people in Chile, & how much he loved it there.

When the meeting was over we immediately went up & introduced ourselves as Elder Messer's family. It was so great to talk to someone who had seen him in Chile. I told him I was getting a package together & asked what he thought I should send. He said- you can definitely get American candy there. He thought for a minute then said...
socks & a new pillow case... they grow fungus pretty quickly...??
Gross.
(Not exactly what I wanted to hear.)
We had a little birthday dinner for the birthday boy. Seth, Megan & Tony came. The menu- pork chops, potatoes & carrots with a salad. His choice for birthday dinner every single year. Then some yummy peach pie & ice cream.Is that a good lookin' pie or what? This kid's not too bad himself, even with his favorite goofy look on his face.

Happy Birthday Jack
Great day.

happy birthday jack! if it makes you feel any better patsy, my brother who served in england used to ask for the same things, for the same reasons. he said mold grew everywhere. so it's not just in chile. plus, boys are so sweaty, i'm surprised they don't have mold growing between their toes all the time! great post.
