  Meeting Lyla Brynn Francis Happy Thanksgiving! With everything we have been blessed with we would be ungrateful servants if we did not begin our update with what we are thankful for. We are thankful for family, and the opportunity to have visited with them for almost two weeks. We are thankful for this beautiful granddaughter that we were able to see and hold. We are thankful for all of you and your friendship and all that you do to strive to follow Jesus Christ. We are thankful for the opportunity to serve the people of Argentina in the Resistencia mission, and for this specific time to work with all the wonderful people in Ibarreta, Formosa. Most importantly we are thankful for our Savior Jesus Christ and his atoning sacrifice and resurrection.

Thankful for ...
