Things only got better when we were both called to be Ward Missionaries specifically for the Chinese members:) The Chinese are SO ready for the gospel it's amazing! There's been at least 6 Chinese baptisms since Lars arrived back in September (2012).
Lars is definitely on the Chinese missionaries speed dial if they ever need someone to accompany them to a lesson.
So, Thanksgiving, an American holiday, was coming up and we weren't sure exactly what we were gonna do. The Scottish don't celebrate this holiday:) and we've never had to do Thanksgiving by ourselves. (We have always been blessed to be with extended family or with a group of other American, young married/single adults.) So when we found out the Chinese speaking missionaries, from America, were also "left out in the rain" we decided to do something together.
Being the only woman, I was concerned that the task of cooking a Thanksgiving meal was gonna be left to me (a bit sexist, I know, as well as daunting!) But I was pleasantly surprised when the missionaries suggested we get "Kebabs".
Now you will see tons of little Kebab shops everywhere...
...and I had been hearing about these infamous kebabs since I first met Elder Moser and Elder Bayer. I guess these kebabs have left quite a wake of salivating Elders. They are known as "The Best Kebabs in the Mission"! Once you try one you will have been "Kebaptized":) Haha!
I wasn't sure what to expect but I knew it was gonna be good:)
Ta-DAH!!!

| THIS is a Kebab:) |
,,,Maybe you're thinking what I was thinking when I got my first glimpse of this concoction...
What is it? Haha:)
Well, it is (I think:) Lamb, beef, chicken, doner <- will talk more about this later. A kebab also contains cabbage, onions, special sauce and naan is included...What do you think?
Before you decide, let me tell you more about this controversial doner "meat". This is where I got my information...after eating it, of course:P http://www.desiblitz.com/content/doner-kebabs-whats-really-in-them. Short, interesting article; good read.
Yikes! Next time hold the doner:( But despite this questionable meat it tasted pretty good. I'm actually craving it right now...yum. Lars may even be craving the doner...(yuck:P)
We really enjoyed our little Non-traditional Thanksgiving with the Elders and can now say that we've been kebaptized :D Check that off my bucket list:P

Also, wanted to thank Bishop and Sister Green who were so kind to invite us to their family Thanksgiving Dinner. It really was a pleasure to share that with you. (Especially since it was only a couple days before you had your twins!!!) Thanks also for the games played:) Molly is such a doll!
So, the doner meat is basically like gyro meat?? If so, that's good stuff. Put it in a pita with a little tzatziki sauce, delicious. I'd much rather have this than thanksgiving turkey and mashed potatoes.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't you just rather have Routi and Poutine?
DeleteCurry and Roti?! Heck yes! Poutine?? I think I'll pass.
