In the field

Fellow cartoonist Arie Van De Graaff posted a gag about Thanksgiving in the mission field. It reminded me of what it was like in our mission. Korea has its own Thanksgiving, Chuseok, which we gladly celebrated (usually around September or October), so when the American Thanksgiving rolled around, it was up to the individual districts or zones to figure out what they would do. For us, we were close to an Army base, so a member there was kind enough to let us on as his guests and we were able to enjoy a nice turkey dinner and play a little football, just like home...although the Army cafeteria stuffing wasn't quite up to Grandma's, it was close enough!
