Good Morning everyone. We hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving with your families. Even though we are away from home, we had a yummy Thanksgiving feast as missionary couples. There is a gentleman here from Australia that works for the tourist bureau. Not sure about all the details of what he does, but he is friends with Elder Rice who has since gone home. We still invite him to our activities. He attended his first Thanksgiving, since they don't celebrate it in Australia, and seemed to enjoy it "tumas" (very much). We had everything you all had to eat. We had turkey (probably from Australia), all though we had to spend $107.00 dollars for a 16 pounder,it was worth it. The whole meal was delish!
Because you're always so full after dinner, we decided to wait until the next day to have pie. What a good move that was! Then Saturday night we met again to polish off the leftovers!
It is now Sunday, and we'll be leaving for Fiji shortly. On our way from the MTC in Aukland, we had a 2 hour layover there. It will be fun to maybe see some of the beautiful island. I'll be sure to take pictures. We're going there for audit training. We'll be starting the new audit cycle next month. It's hard to believe we've been out just short of 7 months. Where does the time go? We hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We return home on Thursday, 30 November. We love and miss you all. Take good care and we'll check back upon our return. Love Elda and Sista Robison :)
Hope you have a fun conference. How can you afford a turkey for Thanksgiving at that price.
ReplyDeleteIs your mission really over? That seemed to go really fast? We didn't get turkey for Thanksgiving this year but we've been told there's a surprise Thanksgiving feast for the students and the rest of us this evening, when the students return from Galilee. We really missed the turkey and hope we'll taste some tonight. How long was your mission?
ReplyDeleteOh, I took that wrong. You meant when you return back home to Vanuatu, right?
