Food and Farewells

Well, it has been a crazy week. Our replacement couple, Elder and Sister Hicks arrived on Tuesday evening. Before and after, we have been trying to see some people we may not be able to see again before we go home. It has been fun helping the Hicks' get acquainted with some of our good friends. On Wednesday we had a Thanksgiving dinner for our district meeting. That night we had a good Institute class. Thursday, we visited one of our most interesting "less-active" member. That night we needed to the run the genealogy center. Friday, we did a number of long distance visits. Today, we held a Thanksgiving dinner for the branch and friends. We cooked two turkeys and had many pies, rolls, mashed potatoes, stuffing and many more things, Sister B doing most of the cooking and preparation. We had 40 people there, more than we ever have had at church meetings before.

It has been hard knowing that we will not see many of these people again.

A couple of the people were not expected to come and we were overwhelmed with joy when we saw them.

We had some to dinner with us on Sunday. Every week we have someone for dinner.
