Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving Week!
Campus grows more and more quiet.  Student exams wrapped up Thursday and Friday was Senior Sneak Day.  Saturday we saw many of the dorm kids downtown for their last monthly shopping trip.  We will miss them.  Prize-Giving (Awards Day) and graduation are this week.

We celebrated our Thanksgiving with Elder & Sister Deffense here in Savai'i.  She fixed turkey wings which span 12 ", no kidding.  She also made rolls and I made stuffing and apple pie.  We added in all the other trimming including purple and yellow yams that a friend on campus gave us from her garden.  We are grateful for this time to count our many blessings.

Us & Sister Deffense at our home.

Elder & Sister Deffense invited us to do a ride along with them this Sunday afternoon to visit a couple of Sister missionaries who aren't well.  Below are a few pictures from the nice drive.

 

After making visits we stopped by to view this non-LDS church.

Mangoes

We figure this tree was struck by lightning after a recent storm.

The tree had been full and healthy.

Ron captured this teeny moth with transparent winds on our storm door.

Still figuring out what this is...Opo Squash maybe?

Okay, proof that Ron is not a Scrooge after all!  He came out of the hardware store Saturday with this purchase:  a small Christmas tree.  Now it needs decorations.

We call our home a cabin because of the hard wood walls.
