Our Thanksgiving Day

For us, until the evening it was pretty normal. I did more work on the cage for the Landcruiser and then spent a couple hours playing with the kids before we went to dinner. We played frisbee (monkey in the middle) and basketball.

When it came time to eat, Patti had done a great job putting the dining hall together. The kids helped to decorate with placards/nametags on the table as well as signs on the walls.

(once again, blogger rotated this image on me and I can't fix it - this is Kayla's picture)

There were beautiful napkins with part of Psalm 100 written on them. The turkey was well cooked and the mashed potatoes and corn tasted great - everything was great including the pumpkin pie.

(I should have taken the picture before we dug into the food)

We had Dr. Bernard and his wife attend as well as Bricie and her husband Gregory (and three children). Those two families live here on the mission with us and we invited them to celebrate this American holiday with us.


Pastor Rob talked a little bit after dinner and thanked everyone of us for being here and playing a part in where the Mission is today - he does a great job here! We are so thankful for Pastor Rob and Patti!
