Thursday, regular Thanksgiving day, I tried to not think too much about what day it really was. That helped to handle being away from children and grandchildren. We attended our usual Thursday district meeting and then went to Marissa Reyes's house for a big dinner. Several families from the Filipino ward were there and the food was delicious and the company was good also.
Friday evening the Chinese Branch held a Thanksgiving dinner. We wondered if there would be turkey there or if the members would feast on Chinese food only. Well, there was delicious turkey and tons of excellent Chinese food. Several of our English class students attended and enjoyed themselves. For such slender people, they can eat A LOT!!!
Saturday evening we took Sisters Douglas and Chan and an investigator, Kelvin, to Oakland to the temple grounds. We enjoyed the musical program, "The Magic of Christmas" and the turning on of the Christmas lights. All the staff at the Visitor Center were on duty that night. We were able to see our sisters: Kwon, Lee, Salazar, and Yu all in one shot.
