Saturday & Lunch

Kia called me last week and I invited her on Saturday to lunch. She brought her new daughter, Zoe with her. This was my last week of class and I did not have much left to do by Saturday. Just finish up my paper so I thought I would have a relaxing morning. I found a recipe by Giada for Roasted Halibut & Mint Pea Salad that I decided to try. So Friday I went to Smiths to get something and looked to see if they had fresh halibut. They no longer have a butcher out but did have frozen. So since I was there I stopped at Sally's to get some more hair products - like I need more when I have 10 bottles of conditioner sitting at home and three 32 oz shampoos. Anyway, I went to Macey's to see if they had any and they didn't so I got the rest of what I needed. Then I stopped at Winco and they didn't have any either. I was going to go to the French bakery and pick up some baquette and dessert on Saturday morning and figured I'd just stop by Smith's on the way and pick up the frozen Halibut. So Saturday I finished cleaning and headed to Smith's and then to the bakery. The bakery was not open and the sign said 10-6. So I went home and thought I would wait an hour and go back. So after an hour I headed back to the bakery, hoping the Halibut would unthaw, and it was still closed. So I had to stop by Smith's again and get some bread and dessert and then was stressed because I still needed to get ready and then cook. Luckily the food did not take long to prepare and it was really good. You have to try the recipe http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/giada-de-laurentiis/roasted-halibut-with-pea-and-mint-salad-recipe/index.html. I added orzo to the salad.

My Saturday turned out to be a lot more hectic than I had planned but we had a great visit and her daughter is really cute - I forgot to take a picture. I also found out that Annemarie (her sister that I also taught and was baptized) had become active in the church again.

Two weeks ago Michael and I went to the symphony at Abravenel Hall. It was not our favorite but we enjoyed getting out and took the time to walk around Temple Square. Sorry, didn't have my camera because I took a smaller purse and forgot it.

Hey,

This last week has been good. We had a scary moment running into a guy with a gun in his pocket and the middle of a drug deal. We did find 5 new investigators this week. We have another baptism for the 27th of this month so things are starting to pick up in this area. This week we had zone meeting and a fireside with Elder Paul Johnson of the Seventy and his brother is the bishop in Clinton. That was a great experience. On the 26th and 27th we will be meeting with a member of the Twelve and of the Seventy but not sure who it is yet. Other then that not to much has happened. Just doing lots of work with the members and going to play basketball today. I love and miss you.

Love, Elder Sanders

Molly's

Just had lunch at Molly's, located behind Deseret Industries in Provo. It is run by Marvelous Catering, my favorite caterer in the valley. They are only open M-F from 11:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. for lunch and if busy it can be hard to find a seat. But the food is fantastic - like having a home cooked meal. I had the lunch plate which includes one meat, two sides, and bread. There are a lot of options. I asked what the best meat selection was and the server said the turkey meatloaf. Very good along with spinach salad (one of the best) and some green beans. I didn't get a cheese scone but heard it was good. I got chocolate cheesecake cake, which I shared with somebody else. Very yummy. I was only going to eat a bite but it was so good that I finished off my half. And the homemade lemonade is great. If in Provo stop by for lunch. Well worth it.
