Fun FHE tonight - we had a Thanksgiving turkey dinner with almost all the trimmings. Sherry found cranberries and made sauce and fresh sage to make dressing. Mashed potatoes, dressing, gravy and turkey...good stuff! I don't think gravy is a staple here because most of the kids didn't know what to do with it. Some refused to try it but most gobbled (get it? A little turkey humor) it down. We had twenty four-here tonight - including four elders, two sisters and two senior missionary couples. Still a great turn out of YSA - our biggest FHE group yet. Our friends Elder and Sister Stevens brought two students down with them from Dachney. It was an enjoyable evening - we had a brief lesson on Thanksgiving and gratitude and then had the students write things they are grateful for on some leaf outlines we made up and then stick the leaves on a tree we put on the wall. Unfortunately, the tree is hard to see in the picture. We plan to keep it up the rest of the year and add leaves to it.
We get to feed the missionaries the 30th another Thanksgiivng dinner - fourteen missionaries. That will be fun. We go to Samara Friday with President Kosmynin for a teacher training on Saturday and then take the night train back to Saratov. Our first train ride in Russia and it's overnight. We've never slept on a train before!
