We had a great Thanksgiving, we all enjoyed ourselves. Our guest seemed to have a great time as well. Pres Hinkley and his wife and area 70's ended up having to attend to Official bussiness, but the 9 missionaries and the 2 other families came and we played basketball, decorated cookies shaped like turkeys, The Sister's played piano and sang songs, There was lots of food and the missionaries were able to bring home leftovers. We had one sister who was not American (Italian) and she had never had Thanksgiving. She said she had a hard time sleeping the night before. She had only seen it in the movies and wasn't sure it was even a real thing. She was so excited. They were very grateful and it reminded me of how much I have to be Thankful for. What a great family I have, these kids so willing to try new things, a husband who works so hard to give us the most unbelievable life ever. My friends and family in the states always worried about our comfort and wanting to send things our way. A beautiful home in a beautiful country, yet being a part of an amazing culture and the freedom
of my own country. My freedom of religion that so many take for granted but many fight for daily. The blessings I have been given that allow me to share with others and enjoy this Thanksgiving day!
Hope you had a great one too!
