Linger Longer

Sacrament meeting was devoted to missionary work as a young man gave his farewell talk today, along with his parents.  Pinocchio, Martin Luther King Jr., Forest Gump, Johnny Cash, The Killers, some scriptures, and "the great poet Eminem" were all quoted during the meeting.  Wowsers.  The entire family are Scotland natives, but even if their accents weren't music to my ears (which it is, I looove the accent), the meeting was interesting enough to keep the whole crowd's attention, even though the service ended 15 minutes late.  The family shared their conversion of coming back into activity and sung the praises of a missionary that reminded them of the path they had lost sight of.  Beautiful. Their testimonies were so sincere.   Following the meeting was a linger longer.  We lingered longer, and then walked home, which is 100 feet away.  It's just hysterical to us that we are way closer to a church building here in Edinburgh, Scotland then we ever have been while residing in Utah... Oh, the irony. We also had three missionaries over for dinner tonight; soup, salad, home made rolls and made from scratch apple pie with vanilla ice cream for dessert. 

This was the Smith family contribution to the linger longer.  They're called "biscuits" but are really crazy delicious butter cookies; some plain, others with filling like an Oreo, and the good ones are dipped in chocolate the way nature intended.  I normally would have made something for the linger longer, but forgot, so this was our offering.  Any visitors will dine on these with us, since they are now on the grocery list right up there with the bread and eggs.
