Feed My Sheep

So we sign up to feed the missionaries about once a month. I feel good about that it is what I am up for right now, and they usually get a full month of meals. I sometimes try to sign up for them on special days, i.e. October 20th- Krista's Birthday, or April Fools Day. Days that I can remember! But I am in no way set on this. The calender came around two weeks ago for the month of December and I saw that there were only like one or two days open, one of which was Christmas Eve. I saw it and thought okay, that will be nice, Give the holiday a churchy feel. We actually have had them over on Christmas Eve before, it was nice. So the Elders came up to us today and asked if we could feed them for lunch because there is another family who signed up after us. We told them that Jeff has to work Christmas Eve so that won't work. They were very gracious and said they would work it out with the other family. Okay. So they come back and ask if they could come early so they can go to the other families house after!!! Apparently this family is demanding to have them on Christmas Eve. It was evident that the poor Elders were just trying not to hurt any feelings. They left before we could tell them to just come another day. I am not going to fight to feed the missionaries, but I am not going to make them a really nice dinner if they are getting another. I don't care that much. I am a bit bugged by this other family, I signed up and made plans first, you snooze you lose, but whatever. I honestly have no idea who they are, (classy points to the missionaries for not telling us,) and I don't want to know, so don't tell me. Really people I am just trying to do some good service, which is hard in my ward, you really have to fight and search for opportunities to serve and help.
