Thanksgiving in Rome
November 28, 2013
Happy Thanksgiving!
It was a busy day at the Mission Home. Transfer week was right in the middle of when we normally celebrate Thanksgiving. November 28, 2013 was a scheduled departure date for 5 of our missionaries. Two of them were from Italy and two of them were from England. Only one of them was from the United States and understood the significance of Thanksgiving. We made the decision to have the traditional going home pasta dinner. We are missionaries serving in a foreign country and it is important for us to follow their customs.
However . . . after everyone else was in bed, we were able to do facetime with our family. It was short and didn't smell a thing like turkey and pumpkin pie, but the grandchildren offered us some turkey and showed us their new, stylish shoes. Under the circumstances, it was the best we could do, but we are so grateful to have this form of modern technology that lets us communicate with our children.
