Thanksgiving in Buenos Aires

We hope you had a wonderful thanksgiving. We went out to Kansas Grill to have dinner with the Haynies and the Petersons. Since the protocols in Buenos Aires are very strict, we ate outside (al aire libre), had turkey, sweet and smashed potatoes with gravy and lime pie. It was nice to reminisce the many experiences we had during our three years serving together in the Philippines. 

 

This morning we had our area office devotional to express gratitude to our outstanding employees, missionaries and volunteers. We celebrated the achievements of those who have earned degrees as well as those who have been employed for the past twenty, and twenty-five years. Daniel had the opportunity to close the meeting to express gratitude for the many efforts and sacrifices during these pandemic days. Daniel did a wonderful job highlighting the great team efforts and the many extra-miles worked around the clock to perform the immense assignments we receive from the Brethren. The pandemic didn’t stop the Lord’s work. I also felt impressed to take a few minutes to express gratitude. 

 

We have enjoyed reading all the gratitude posts that you shared for the past week in Instagram and Facebook, as well as our Zoom meetings, which we hope will continue each Sunday. 

 

We also enjoy our on-line Church meetings. I love to watch several of them, including the Belgrano and the Bountiful wards, as well as the Campestre ward in El Salvador. I am literally at Church all day. The first meeting starts at 9:00AM and the last ends at 5:00PM.

 

Now it's time to light up the world. We are so excited to see what things you will be doing as a tradition this year. I am a little homesick so we might find a way to get to see family. 


Con amor,

Vero
