Missionary Sports Day

Alma 7:23:  "Always return thanks to God for whatsoever thing you receive." 

Here's my Thanksgiving dinner!  This Costco pizza is actually the first pizza in England I like!!  Maybe I was extra hungry . . .  Our mission sponsored a two-day sports day for all of the missionaries Thursday and Friday.

These are the leftovers.  No pans to clean up, no dishes to wash.  This is what didn't get gobbled up by the missionaries, but a bunch of them took slices home leaving not a crumb.

Elder Blain checking out the leftovers.

Everyone shocked and awed--ha, ha!  Did it go in?

Elder Blain with his buddy.  It isn't often he gets his hands on a ball these days.  The mission president was giving instructions for the day.  These are half of the missionaries in the mission.
