Before we left Dresden we were able to have Thanksgiving with the missionaries. Elder Shoenwald and Elder Sononini (District leaders from Meissen) were the chefs and the rest of us contributed what we could. We had district meeting at the church, they went out "finding" for awhile and when they came back we all got together for a wonderful American Thanksgiving.
Getting the turkey out and ready to serve.
The table with most of the food. The cookies and cranberry sauce, were our contributions. The best we could do in the middle of a move.
We were all a bit emotional as we sang this song.
Elder Juengling's tradition. You must say what you are thankful for as you pass the corn around.
Finally, time to eat. The three Chinese girls enjoyed our American tradition with us.
Resting to make room for the dessert.
Elder Shoenwald, our German Chef, made the dessert. It was not pumpkin pie but it was tasty.
It was hot and served with ice cream. Yum!
Can''t be complete without the clean up crew.....they were the ones who got the rest of us going. It was a fun day. The missionaries went back to work and we headed out to a "German" Thanksgiving dinner.
