We had five days to prepare for a Thanksgiving dinner and program for our Branch. The President said usually 50 people will come. Turns out over 80 showed up! But I've done dinners before for the Spanish. So when it looked like there wasn't going to be enough food we brought in extra we had hidden in our car.
Pies, gravy, potatoes, salad and dressings and rolls. Ha, couldn't fool us twice.
The food was fine but the amazing part was who came! There were at least five investigators and 20 less active members. The missionaries were in high heaven! We have referrals and some of the less active members haven't been to church in a looong time. Not since we have been here for eight months anyway. It was a huge success of what activities are for. We had made up flyers inviting people to come and took them everywhere personally and sent more around again with the young Elders. It was great.
But exhausting and time consuming and it just plain hurts this old body anymore. But still....precious investigators and less actives and members. So much to be thankful for!
