Thanksgiving

This year, as in many years, we have so much to be thankful for.  The best the health and safety of our family and this great mission.  We love being here so much we sometimes have to pinch ourselves.  We love and think of our family often, but we know that being out here is where we belong.  We are so thankful for the support and love from home – we feel it often.  We ate dinner at the President’s home with five other senior couples and four missionaries and the President and his family.  The food was unbelievable, of course and the company even better.  We skyped our children and they are together and having a great time.  Mike said they had a ‘small emergency’ because Dad wasn’t there to make the stuffing Smile, but I gave him the recipe and I am sure it was close to Dad’s.

It is our hope and prayer that our friends, family and extended family had a wonderful Thanksgiving Day.

Plenty of Food Open-mouthed smile
