Much to be THANKFUL for....

Today was a blessed Thanksgiving here in Germany.  The Area couples spent the afternoon together and enjoyed a scrumptious feast.  Allan and I were asked to organize the meal and everyone made delightful fixins' .  We had 5 turkeys and ALL the trimmings (which we somewhat hard to come by here).  Of course sharing the day with such wonderful and fun missionary couples made it that much more memorable.






Being able to serve this interesting yet challenging mission is such a blessing.  How grateful we are for the amazing people we have met in lands afar and the impact they have had on our testimonies of the Lord's love for all his children.  We often reflect on the closeness we feel to the Lord and recognize His hand of support in everything we are expected to do here.  We are so thankful for the love and support we get continuously from our children and grandchildren as they share their lives and encourage us in our far away responsibilities.  We are never alone here and relish our companionship as we work together here in so many ways.   Our love and commitment to each other continues to grow as we serve together.  This truly is a blessed day!
