We will be having a Thanksgiving celebration on Saturday. Since Kenyans do not celebrate this holiday, Thursday is a regular work day for us. On Saturday, all of the Tenwek missionaries will gather for a potluck lunch. On the menu is turkey and most of the traditional sides (sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, corn pudding, cranberry sauce, and various pies). Apparently we will also be watching football - someone must have a satellite dish!
It is hard to be away from family during this holiday time, but we feel very fortunate to have new friends to share the day with. We have so many things to be thankful for...our health, family, friends, and faith. We wish all of you a Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!!!!! In our prayers of Thanksgiving you will be included. May God bless you for what you are doing and bless those whose lives you are touching.
