Thursday, Nov. 24,2022 - Thanksgiving!

 Busy day today. Of course, we worked at the VC…but we had reduced hours. This is the opening crew: we had PLENTY of time to take pictures, since no one came into the Center!


Front- Sisters Spencer, Lameroux, and Beeson
Middle:  Sisters Blakesly, Clevenger, Bushman, and Fisher
Back: Elder Hua, Elder & Sis. Mahaffey, Sister Drury, E. Bushman, & E. Adams

Then we went over to the PCC at the Gateway Buffet Terrace, and enjoyed Dinner!  The AhYou family here feed the whole mission ( and others ) every Thanksgiving. They cooked 300 turkeys emu style- buried in the ground for hours -  the senior missionaries each brought a side dish and the young ones brought dessert. 


Believe me, when Polynesians are involved, there is PLENTY to eat!



Then they had a little program with a lot of singers and performers. At one point the lady began singing a song for couples and invited someone who was having an anniversary to come and dance while she sang. After a minute all the young missionaries started chanting BUSHMAN, BUSHMAN….wanting them to go up and dance…so they did.  You know what is coming….then they stated chanting MAHAFFEY, MAHAFFEY……so we had to get up and dance too!



Then we walked over to the amphitheater where they hold the HA night show to have a whole mission picture. Organizing that many people is always interesting….




                                 Always a good time during a holiday in the mission field!!!
