Full House

These past three days the six male interns, from the group my husband and Axel brought from Texas, have been staying at our house. They've been in training for their individual tasks as summer missionaries, the same jobs my husband and i had when we first came to Kansas as engaged interns. It would seem that every year a new couple emerges as a crop from the missionary visits. Last December one of the girls from our college-level youth married Axel, who was in my same class at seminary. I can't help but wonder how our students this year will fare in the fields of ministry and love.
On a more comic note, i had to make supper for all fifteen of us yesterday and it took forever and a half, but i finally managed to whip up too much spaghetti, just enough meat loaf, and the perfect amount of homemade mashed potatoes.
