Thanksgiving with the Elders

L-R Sister Allsop, Elder Villjo, Elder Allsop, Elder McLaren, Elder Rodrick; Elder Faifutu; Elder Mamaes

These are the Elders we enjoyed Thanksgiving with in 2013.  We invited the Wolfpoint Elders Villejo (Philippine) and Elder Mamaes (Somalian)

Elders have fun too.  Notice the Turkey hat.

A full Thanksgiving meal was served in Poplar Branch Cultural Hall.  There were no complaints about our cooking.   Missionaries love food and a lot of it.

This is where the 4 Elders serving in Poplar live.  The blue blanket had to go.  So I retrieved drapes cast aside in the fallen down garage in their back yard, wash, bought drapery hooks and hung them.
They were thankful.  Now it doesn't look so much like a getto home.

Elder McLaren finished his mission in Poplar.  He arrived just 2 days before we did in September.  Back home in Yuma, AZ he quickly became engaged to the girl he converted and baptized in High School.  He'll be very successful in life because he was as a obedient missionary.
