Thanksgiving Day

We had an awesome Thanksgiving Dinner at President and Sister Mathews' home. They had been SO busy lately with trainings, travel, transfers, and a mission tour with Elder Kearon, that we couples decided it would be nice to organize the dinner ourselves and not assign anything to Sister Mathews so she could get some much needed rest. Of course, she didn't rest. She simply spent her time doing other things because she is way behind on getting ready for Christmas for the missionaries.

The food was excellent, with all the trimmings, and the turkey turned out ok in spite of the fact that the Alvarez' ran out of gas half way through the baking process and had to run the turkey over to the Mathews' oven to finish baking. We even had yams and stuffing, and rolls. Amazing! Especially when you consider that it's really hard to find some ingredients and spices here.

While the women washed dishes, the men finished decorating the Christmas tree. Great job, by the way!
