Thanksgiving 2010

C riding the Mayflower across the ocean!

President R has 12 children and they do this play every year. I can only imagine how many times he has done this.

Getting ready for the play to begin.

We really felt so blessed to spend Thanksgiving with all these wonderful people. It has been such a blessing for our family to know these families that are serving missions here in Brazil. We felt very blessed this Thanksgiving. A tradition that they started years ago and hopefully we can pick up is.. at dinner time they all go around the table and tell 3 things they are thankful for. Some of the things that people were thankful for were: having righteous families, good health, the gospel in there lives, having the Holy Ghost, scriptures, loving parents, and being able to attend good schools.

These are all things that we have access to everyday and need to remember to be thankful for and give thanks for them daily. I was so glad for thanksgiving and it made me appreciate our families back at home and how we can still feel of their love even when we are so far away.
