We would like to wish a very Happy Thanksgiving to our family and friends! There is so much to be thankful for - we, personally, realize that now more than ever since we are not with our families. We hope that you all have great conversation and fun together and stay safe. We hope that you all give glory to God for what he has provided for us all in America. We thank God for all of you and appreciate your care and concern for us these last 5 months since coming to Haiti.
Unfortunately for us, since Thanksgiving is an American holiday and not a Haitian holiday, it will be a normal work day around here with one exception: we don't normally get together to do dinner on Thursday nights, but tonight the families at the mission will be getting together and we'll be having the traditional Thanksgiving food. The Haitian workers of the Mission, need/want all the money that they can get and so taking a day off for an American holiday isn't something that they necessarily want to give up.
We were planning to call family today so we could talk with them, but because everyone is working here and our internet is slow already, that won't be happening until after we get back from dinner. So, we'll be calling around 7pm your time or shortly thereafter.
Some additional thoughts on being thankful.
