HAPPY THANKSGIVING
TO
WONDERFUL
FAMILY & FRIENDS
We woke up to more
rain this morning. Today is supposed to be a little warmer with more coming in
by tomorrow. We haven’t received any snow like the East, and hope the Walkers are
OK. I guess Utah has a little snow as
well.
Life is good on this
mission front. We pulled off another week.
Jen and Ashley were here for 5 days! Oh how we enjoyed that beautiful
little girl. She is now 10 months old,
walking, and loved all the steps to climb.
Dad had stomach flu before they got here, by Mon. I had it and by Tues.
Jen and Ashley were sick. What a way to
spend time with family. The baby felt so rotten that she would sometimes let me
rock her. We sure appreciated their
effort to come out but sure felt bad that everyone got the bug. To top it all off, when Jen flew home Thurs.
by Fri. her other three kids, that weren’t even out here with her, came down
with it. It was really a fast,
contagious bug. Anyway, thank you Jen
for all the effort! We certainly fell in love with Ashley. We left them in Illinois when Ashley was only three days old. She
has really changed and grown!
About all we did
last week was try to get everyone back on top.
That flu came on fast and leaves you as weak as a new baby kitten. Everyone is on top this week. We hope, the rest of you don't get it!
Anyway, Sister
Berno (choir director) says we are singing every month no matter what. This was
one of those times that it was no matter what!
How does the singing go with flu?
Today we are having
a Thanksgiving Dinner with the Senior Couples.
They are always at the mission home.
It is always so good to get together with the other seniors. That is the only time that we are together with them. We have to do mashed potatoes, and had to do
that last week for the Zone Conf. We
have a new way of doing them, you peel, cook till done then mash them with butter,
sour cream, cream cheese and salt. Put
them in the crock pot on low for two hours.
They are delicious and you can even make them the day before then heat
them when you need them. This is how I
will do them for Thanksgiving. We have
the four Elders, Dee, Sabrina and Jerel coming for dinner. We may add more if someone doesn’t have a
family to go to. By the time we do
potatoes for Thanksgiving we will have done 45 pounds of potatoes.
Pres. Burno
announced Sun. that next Sun. after church everyone bring their left overs from
Thanksgiving and we’ll have pot luck! I
can hardly wait! We’ll have to let you
know what was there.
Hope all of you
enjoy your wonderful families and have a very good, spiritual, loving and happy
Thanksgiving. We certainly will be
thinking of all of you. It will be fun
to have Taylor and Addison home this year, you will all notice the absence of
Harrison. I hope he knows we will all be
thinking of him as we are thinking of all of you. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. We know you are all kinda healthy and
doing very well in all your pursuits.
Keep up the good work and positive attitudes. I wonder what will be
different in all our lives by Thanksgiving 2015. Time has a way of getting away from all of
us, that is why we need to live in appreciation for each moment. May we all stay well and happy and get a lot
accomplished before Dec. 25th.
GOOD LUCK TO EACH ONE
OF YOU, MAY THE LORD BLESS YOU IN YOUR ENDEVORS!
ELDER
& SISTER ARMSTRONG ( with all the accompanying titles)
