Friday was zone conference for the Bayanzurkh zone of which we are apart.  It was our last zone conference--another of our lasts. 

 The missionaries received some great council and helps on how to handle some situations they may face when teaching and then they roll-played them out with each other.  They were just wonderful and really got into the roll-playing.

The Gardners and the Stewarts are the other couple missionaries in the zone.  We helped by participating in demonstrations  and comments.  Elder Shrope and I also bore our testimonies since we were the departing missionaries at this conference.  It was a wonderful day.

 On Saturday all the couple gathered at President and Sister Clark's apartment for our Thanksgiving dinner.  We also had Elder and Sister Meehan with us who are here from Hong Kong.  They are the Asia area couple over humanitarian and welfare services and are here for the week. 

Here Sister Clark and Sister Hunt are putting the turkey on the serving dish.  We all wish we had a kitchen like this one in the mission home!!!

Yes we had pumpkin pie and pumpkin cheesecake!!  Sister Richardson had can pumpkin she bought last year which was good because we could not find any anywhere this year.  Plus we had apple crisp and chocolate bundt cake, all delicious!!

And here we had turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, homemade rolls, carrots, and green been cassrole.  Just like at home--well all most. 

Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the food and the conversation!  Afterwards President Clark showed us a video called "The Crying Camel."  It was about a family in the Gobi that had a camel that rejected her colt because of a hard delivery and the things they tried to get her to accept it.  It was very touching and showed realistic
Mongolian life in the countryside.  It was a great Thanksgiving day even if it was a little late,  Sometimes celebrations have to fit our schedules instead of when they actually happen but that is okay.
