Food is such an integral part of our culture. Learn how to change your diet and your eating habits, and you've taken a step toward learning how to be a missionary. Do things like feeding one another, eating without utensils, eating strange foods, and you grapple with comfortable habits.

This week living in our house we have Tim and Erin, Anne, Heather, Marissa, Nichole, Tim R., and our regular crew which includes Molly and Whimsy. Yesterday we sent them to an Oriental market to buy their food, learn a recipe, and bring it back to our home to cook. We told them they had to get something from the air, the sea, and the air. At least two of them had to have stinky ingredients. They made:

Shrimp dumplings

Leg of pig

Korean salad

Tilapia goreng

Spring rolls

Exotic fruits salad

Yuki guki soup

It was provocatively delicious. Today they woke up looking more like missionaries to me.
