Elder Schenewark: Hi, good morning!
Man: Hi!
Elder Schenewark: What’s your name?
Man: Welcome!
Elder Schenewark: No, what’s your name?
Man: Welcome!
Elder Schenewark: No, I mean thank you, but what’s your name?
Man: My name is Welcome . . .
As Tanner explained, this was an “awkward doorstep contact, especially after his wife eating munchies on the sofa yelled, ‘No, you're not welcome, we’re Catholics.’
Well, Welcome’s wife, you're welcome!
We spent some time looking up the different foods he mentioned in his letter...most of them sound and look yummy!
acai "the fruit that waters, or cries"
(almost ripe blueberry)
jambo, tastes like roses
guarana, in everything, its seeds contain about twice the concentration of caffeine found in coffee beans!
jurubeba, very sour but apparently very, very good for you (medicinal, in the nightshade family)
mandioca, when fried, cooked, tastes like very dense potatoes or french fries, the kind that are hard to swallow, very dense (similar to cassava or yuca)
goiaba, you can eat the whole thing, like apple/guava
jabuticaba, a grape inside of a paint ball, can't eat the outside or you'll be constipated for five days!
acerola, has three times the amount of vitamin c than in one orange, like a cherry

Thanks for doing all the research on those foods. It's very fun to see all the pictures!
Holy cow! Those are some crazy foods!!
Very cool, and very different.
Interesting fruits. The cashew one really amazed me. The fruit is very pretty, too. I LOVE cashews!!
Thanks for looking up all these foods and posting them. Very interesting!!!
Someone missed the first meeting of that club.
They need to talk with the Optimist Club for some recruiting ideas.

A really good friend of mine is from Brazil. So, I've tried a few of these things.
I always wonder how my boys will deal with the food on their missions :-)
