In the morning we went over to the MTC to have Thanksgiving with the new missionaries and some of the American couples that work at the temple, in the Area office and other missions.
At 11:00 we had a program in the
auditorium of the MTC. Prs. and
auditorium of the MTC. Prs. and
sister Groberg of the MTC spoke
as well as Dr. and sister Drake. Also a young elder with a beautiful voice sang "America the Beautiful". At noon we went out on this patio and ate a turkey dinner. We had potatoes and sweet potatoes along with a bean salad and a tossed green salad. We had a stuffing that looked like the stuffing we are used to but it was different. Of course we had turkey. For desert we had a choice of a cheese cake or apple pie with ice cream. We met 3 sisters that are coming to our mission on the next change which is the end of December. About 2:00 we went back to the office. We didn´t stay at the office as late as we usually do, but went home at 5:30. We called different people that were home. Karen called her son Mark. Her son Scott was never home before it was time for us to turn in. I called Ike but there never was an answer. We talked to Kyle, Melissa and family and Chuck, Andrea and family. Rhett was at Bear Lake and Nicolle in Idaho. Chad called us from Orlando, Fla. and we talked to he and Melissa and the girls. We also taked with Brandon, Nicole and the kids. We also were able to talk to our good friend Jo.

We are very thankful for this opportunity to serve a mission. We realize that we are starting and will be going thru some tough times in the United Stated and around the world. But if we follow the councel of the Brethern, attend our meeting so that we can partake of the sacrament, pay our tithes and offerings and remember our prayers and read in the Book of Mormon if at all possible every day the spirit will be with us and everything will work out for our best good. The Lord is mindful of our desires and aspirations and what is best for us. As we keep the commandments and attend the temple He will bless us accordingly. I know that we are being tested even now. Scott, Brandon, Chuck and Kyle all lost their job. Scott, Brandon and Chuck have found other employment. Kyle will and it will be better than what he had before. Ike is going through some very rough times financially. But if he continues the course he is taking the Lord will bless him abundantly.
Know that we love you all and pray for you all daily. Hope you all had a very good Thanksgiving day.
