Thursday, November 26, 2009 was Thanksgiving. Its not an Albanian holiday, but the missionaries all got together and had a great meal. Sister Neil, the mission president's wife, put the feast together. The missionaries were responsible for the deserts. Above photograph shows a very proud Elder Turley holding his 24 inch "deep dish" apple pie. It was delicious!

The Elders and Sisters lined up holding their deserts. We had everything from pumpkin and apple pies to rich chocolate cake.

The Thanksgiving feast was held in the basement of the mission home. Standing, in white shirt, is Elder Ditmer from Indiana.

Heading into the basement for the Thanksgiving meal, Elders Kushlan, Hagen, Garn and Smedley.

I knew it was getting close to Thanksgiving when I saw this fellow taking his birds home. Actually, towards the end of the year, you start seeing live turkeys on the streets of Tirana for sale. The big Albanian meal when turkeys are served is New Year's. Can the end of 2009 be that close?
