Inspirements, quotes and recipes from today!

Today was awesome!  I loved flying kites, tasting all that yummy food, seeing the youth learn more about the countries and features of Asia, and having some amazing connections...like Drew's comment about the words Good and God and Devil and Evil, and other awesomeness like that! 

Thank you for the sweet spirit that was there during our devotional, the way you guys support each other, and Madeline's fantastic oral presentation!  We are going to miss you and Tate, but have an awesome time in Florida!

Drew's Egg Rolls
Wanton wraps
Finely chopped veggies (we used cabbage, chives, carrots, mushrooms)
Ground beef, cooked
Soy sauce (sprinkle on meat)

Mix meat and veggies together.  Place 2-3 tablespoons in the middle of wanton wrap and wrap as directed, using water to seal it closed.  Fry in hot oil for 1-2 minutes on each side.  Take out, drain, and place on paper towel.

Maggie's Quote

"Virtue provides an example for people to fallow; when it is not there, they miss it. It has always been the finest prize a person can win, and it always will be so. It is the noblest of all the good qualities a person can have.--The Wisdom of Solomon 4:2
