{Update #66} Thanksgiving Week --an update from Mom

 Elder Goold has been very busy lately and didn't have time to send a letter this week, therefore this update will be an update based on the phone calls we've had with him, along with the pictures he sent. 

 This week consisted of lots of meetings, including a zone conference....

a trek to the temple...   

... lots and lots of driving (since he and his companions are zone leaders with a minivan in an area with a lot of bike elders),

....and 3 Thanksgiving dinners (including one with the Botchways).  These pictures of he and his companion, Elder Shaw, were sent to me via text on the day before Thanksgiving. 

Wendy's was their p-day dinner/lunch and had nothing to do with Thanksgiving...

Also included in his pictures this week were this batch of hot chocolate cookies he made--apparently he's trying to bake one batch of cookies per transfer--and a picture with a random Elder I know nothing about.  

On the bright side, he got two phone calls home this week (one on p-day and one on Thanksgiving Day).   We loved being able to talk with him!

All in all, he seemed happy and very busy.   We miss him. 💗
