The 2 Assistants and 16 Zone Leaders are here again today for the consejo. They came in from their areas last night and slept in the lower level of the mission home. We have 20 bunkbeds downstairs, and only two bathrooms. Pretty tight schedule for showering!
Last night they ate 7 pizzas and drank 18 bottles of caffeine free diet Coke. This morning they were joined by the 5 secretaries and for breakfast they had six dozen eggs, 100 slices of bacon, 1 gallon of refried beans, 150 tortillas, 25 containers of yogurt, and 25 sweet rolls. They washed it down with 3 gallons of juice.
Today for lunch they'll have 50 portions of milanesa, a mountain of mashed potatoes, and about 1 1/2 gallons of gravy. Also one very large bag of mixed vegi's and 6 large cans of fruit cocktail and 8 loaves of french bread. They'll have water to drink, (we go through about 60 bottles of water) and about 6 dozen homemade cookies for dessert (the senior sisters over at the visitor's center helped me out with these!). They also went through 40 juice boxes, 23 granola bars, and various other things I send with them for the trip back to their areas. Missionaries are always hungry!
It is a great meeting though, el Presidente's favorite. They meet together to discuss the direction of the mission, and plan the training for the coming cycle. These missionaries are the hardest working elders we have here and they do a great job.
Next time they will meet at the stake center by the temple. There is much less travel for them, and they also only have lunch together on these days. It is much easier for me when they meet at the stake center since they eat at the MTC cafeteria, (I do provide some snacks, though) but I enjoy having them here - they are a wonderful group of missionaries.
Since we only have four more consejo's before July 1st, two will be here, and two will be at the stake center. Hard to believe the time is going by so fast!

You & Russ look real good. I like
that sweater set you are wearing.
Do you have enough room in your fridge for all that food? :)
