Thanksgiving Day with the Newman's








                                    Dear Dutson Family, Smith families and Bowden Family:

We have had a great pleasure of hosting your fine missionary sons today in our home.  They are all four serving in our ward here in West Des Moines, Iowa.  You all have GREAT sons.  We love having them with us and sharing our Thanksgiving traditions was so much fun.  Three of them are sharing their first Thanksgiving away from you.  I remember that one well as I served my mission years ago in Germany.  We also have a son in Brazil on his first Thanksgiving away from home.  His chances of being fed turkey are slim today!  With temps in the 20s, it was a beautiful winter day here.  We ate dinner, played ping pong and cards together and shared pie with your sons.  Thank you for raising great young men who are now representing the Lord for these two years.  They have that “light” in their eyes and have been so courteous and loving.  Here are some pictures for you to enjoy.

We love you as parents and families of missionaries.  We enjoy that bond with you.

Mark and Lisa Newman
