We love feeding the missionaries!! We have four sisters and four elders that serve in our area. They mainly serve in Catania, but we are lucky enough to have them attend our branch every week, too. Sunday work best for us to feed them, so they follow us home from church and hang out for a while as we get dinner ready. The kids LOVE having all the attention and the missionaries love having some American style food for a change.
We try to keep it simple.....our house is small and there's a lot of them. We did hamburgers and hot dogs the first week. The next time was tacos (technically Mexican food, oops), and then this last week the commissary ran out of almost all meat, so we decided to have breakfast for dinner...waffles, pancakes, eggs, etc. It was so fun!
A couple of the missionaries are Italian. It was fun to see the Americans teach them how to eat their waffle or how we fold our tacos. They LOVE peanut butter! One elder was putting it on his pineapple from the fruit salad. They don't have it here, really.
Graham made this little paper man after one of the spiritual thoughts they gave. I can't remember why. I'm pretty sure it says, "the best grop of mishinares".

I can't think of a better way to teach your kids about serving the Lord than by taking care of his missionaries. Awesome!
