Chili

What's one thing I like about Ward conference?  The pot-luck lunch after church services and classes.  I know this is not done everywhere, but in Jacksonville, us Mormons love to find all kinds of reasons to eat.

Today, I had a chance to visit my "original" congregation, the ward that I was baptized in back in 1993.  

One of the church leaders in the ward served in the same mission that I did (California Los Angeles Mission).  His name is Jason Farnsworth.  It's been 12 years since we were on our missions and just the other day, we were reminiscing on our experiences and marvel how we still rely on those memories in our daily lives.  

Well, Jason decided to do a Chili pot-luck....score!!!  I'm a big fan of chili, and there were at least 8-10 crock pots full of different recipes of chili.  I was in food heaven.  There were hotdogs and buns if you wanted to make a chili dog.  Oyster crackers, sour cream, and cheese were placed at the end of the table.  And there was also a plethora of desserts and beverages.

It was a great visit to be Spiritually fed during services.  It was also great to be physically fed afterwards.

I'm thankful for chili, and for the people who contributed to the vats of yummy goodness.
