The Nielsen Family

The Nielsen's are another American expat family (from Arizona) who have lived in Penang about 5 months longer than us. They also attend our branch here and it is great to have some other gringo's with us :)

We FINALLY had them over last Sunday after church and since I had made lots of food we also invited the elders, who then in turn invited an investigator. We also invited Ammon Christiansen, a man who we met at church that very day and who was in town for work for the week. It was great to have lots of mouths to feed and some great conversation.

On the menu wasSpaghetti with Kay's Famous Spaghetti Sauce, Vegetables, Alisha's salad with homemade dressing, Tiffany's rolls, and for dessert.... (see below)

One of my favorite recipe's!

 We explained to everyone about lighting the Advent candles like they do in Sweden. 

We missed a week so we had the boys light two.
