We had a special Elder who helped us to move a few months back so we decided it was time to thank him properly. His companion had already been transferred, but Elder Roberts has been in our ward for several months. We were hanging out on the driveway one afternoon, playing with sidewalk chalk and swatting at mosquitoes when the Elders drove by our house and stopped to talk for a few minutes. I asked them what they wanted for dinner in a few days, and of course they had no preference. So then I asked them what was their favorite recipe from home. Elder Roberts told me it was his mom's Hawaiian Haystacks, and the special Top Secret chocolate cake recipe that has never left the family.
So then I asked for his mom's phone number so I could get the recipes. She was happy to oblige, and even gave me the Top Secret chocolate cake recipe!
Here is a picture of the Elders eating dinner. I know 18-20 year old boys can eat. But MAN, did Elder Roberts EAT! We actually had no leftovers of the dinner, but we had some cake left so we sent it home with him. Tanner still hasn't forgiven me for this act of charity, but nevertheless, it was not our cake to keep. And it made someone happy. Thanks for all you do, Elders!
