November is a busy Birthday month in the Thompson Family- Audrey on the 22nd, Spencer turned 4 on the 24th, Steve the 27th (which was also his Dad’s b-day) and Phil on the 30th. This year was quite different in that it was only the two of us celebrating on Steve’s actual b-day. Hard to sing alone :)
Since I am used to having alot of family around, I couldn’t bear the thought of no one coming for Thanksgiving- and I do like to cook on this holiday. So I invited Missionaries…
My helpers- Sisters Andersen & Williamson
So we got our wish of not being alone and the left overs were few!
Hope your Thanksgiving was Yummy~~~
Thinking today and realized that 39 years ago on Nov.10, 1973 I was baptized as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. How fast the time has gone. On the 10th I was at a scout training mtg. called Little Philmont and who should be there but friends from the Key West branch where I got my beginnings. I was reminded how diligent they were and growing up as a convert in Key West having 4 callings at one time.
Now as I am working at the Immokalee branch with the Cub scouts it keeps me focused on what it is all about- service!
I hope to always be grateful for the restored gospel in my life and the opportunities it gives me to help others in need!
Our daughter Andrea got her call to the Spain Malaga mission. She reports to the mission training center (www.mormon.org) in Spain on March 20th. We are very humbled by her willingness to serve the Lord. Way to go Andrea…..
The last few wk.ends Steve has had seminars to go to for work, so while there we made the best of it and had some fun too ;)
