Leah's Thanksgiving






I spent Thanksgiving at home as my companion was sick. Well actually that's not entirely true. We spent the morning at insta-care where she got treated for her nausea and hives she got some how on her neck. I was basically sick with the flu Monday through Wednesday and she was sick Thursday through Sunday! So she spent most of Thanksgiving sleeping while I tried to find things to keep me busy! I was glad Mom had sent me a few Thanksgiving type items. I took pictures (as I was very bored!) to show you what I spent my day doing. I didn't get ready for the day, so sorry I'm not wearing any make-up! Anyway, I thought it was kind of funny and it was actually a pretty nice and relaxing day. Someone brought a little thanksgiving by for us around 8pm at night and we also got a little Filipino food, not that either of us had much of an appetite.
First I put a festive bow in my hair (orange of course).
Then I made appetizers and the instant potatoes mom sent me (they were really yummy!) and tried to make banana creme pies, but all we had was rice milk and I guess you can't make pudding with rice milk? It didn't set up so I ended up drinking the pies!
The elders came over to give my companion a blessing and then of course asked if they could do anything more for us, so I told them they could put up our tree (a member is letting us borrow it) and they gladly did! Isn't it pretty?

I love you all! Our families are so important and I am so grateful for the family we have.
Love,
Sister Morris
