It is a great thing to appreciate the wonderful things you have been blessed with on Thanksgiving, but it is even more wonderful to go an partake of them to show your appreciation.
We are very grateful for all of the blessings we receive from being an eternal family and for our thanksgiving we flew to Switzerland ( our closest temple) and spend two days at the temple and the surrounding area appreciating all th Lord has given us!

This was also Luana's first trip to the temple.

A wonderful thing happened while we were at the temple. We had been told we would be able to do baptisms along with another group that was traveling to the temple. We assumed they would not speak english. When we arrived and met the group, we found that they not only spoke english, but were another American ward from Italy and make a tradition of this temple trip each Thanksgiving. They bring along with them all the things needed to make their Thanksgiving dinner right in the dorms near the temple.
They invited us to stay and eat with them. It was like family and it was lovely and it was a huge blessing. The kids had fun with their youth, there was by miracle one Italian girl who was Luana's age also staying in the dorms and so many people to chat with and to enjoy our Thanksgiving with and it made us feel even more blessed!
