First Thanksgiving in England

The Saturday before Thanksgiving we visited the Wedgwood china factory and store where we bought this plate. We wish we could afford to by the whole set.

On Thanksgiving day and the day after the mission had a sports day. The missionaries had a great time letting off a little steam.
Sister Bullock, the president's wife baked cookies while the missionaries played. The smell of baking cookies drifted through the church and made everyone extra hungry.
Thanksgiving dinner consisted of subway sandwiches, fruit, muffins, water, and, of course, homemade cookies.
The Elders that help us out in the office were invited for a real Thanksgiving feast at the home of a member of the ward. The wife is from America. Unfortunately, they called the night before and cancelled because the mom was sick. We felt sorry for them so we invited them to have dinner with us. It wasn't a real Thanksgiving feast since we had to work that day, but they brought a pumpkin pie and we had an enjoyable evening together.

  2. I think your Thanksgiving dinner looks yummy and those Elders were lucky to be there. I love looking at all your pictures. It makes your mission more real to me to see what you're doing and what surroundings look like. Keep em coming.
