For most missionaries a one year mark home from the mission isn't exactly the best day of their life. It's a time for them to reminisce about the life-changing experience of serving Heavenly Father for two years. It sounds great, but if you think about it it's probably hard to have all those memories and not be able to experience them ever again. Donovan, I knew was going to have a hard time with this day. He loved his mission and misses Portugal every day. Sooo...let's turn this bittersweet day into just a sweet day!
I decided to throw a party for Donovan. We had the whole family over for homemade Portugal style Francesinhas. They are sandwiches drenched in cheese and a heart attack waiting to happen, but incredibly delicious! Donovan also made a picture slideshow of his mission and got to show his family some of his favorite pictures.
I think we'll keep this a family tradition for the future. It's a great way to honor a mission well served! Enjoy the pictures of our fun day :)
I LOVE your blog! This night was so fun, thanks for having us all over...these sandwiches were delicious...still can't believe I ate a whole one!!
