Thanksgiving Dinner and Christmas Pillow Cases

 We cooked turkey, made dressing and mashed posatoes and pumpkin cream cheese pie!  Here are the office elders, and 1st branch elders enjoying 'Thanksgiving' dinner at our apartment.

 After dinner they each received a small gift from us - a pillowcase to use for the weeks until Christmas.

 Wonderful sisters from both 1st and 2nd branches - same great 'Thanksgiving dinner!

 Sure love these young women, and loved making pillow cases for them!

 Assistants to the President and 2nd Branch elders - now a trio1 

Such great young men - and one pretty awesome old guy!

T'was the month before Christmas, when all through the mission - Some Volunteers were serving, with President's permission.  The stockings were hung on the drying rack with care, In hopes that they would soon match another pair.
The volunteers wre nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of miracles danced in their heads. When Sister Lamb in her scarf - and President in his cap, Were getting on an airplane - no time for a nap!
As the world approaches the month of December, Put this case on your pillow to help you remember The Greatest Gift ever given from Heaen above Our Savior, His Atonement and all of His love.
Serving our Savior in Russia this time of the year, Offers many opportunities to spread holiday cheer.  Sharing our knowledge of truth with all others, Including companions, Russian Sisters and Brothers.
May this Christmas be your 'merriest' ever, And in the New Year let us all endeavor To serve cheerfully, love much, be tolerant and kind.  The Gift we give Jesus is our love for all mankind.
