Thanksgiving

My favorite holiday (except Holy Week and Easter). My college class meets on Thursdays from 9-12, so I taught on Thanksgiving for the first time in my life! I dismissed the class at 11:30, and we trooped over to our apartment for a Thanksgiving dinner. I had set the table and put a verse about thanks on each plate, along with the five kernels of corn, which each person used to tell 5 things he/she was thankful for. The students had brought a delicious whipped cream type cake which was put with the two pies we got at Red, Hot, and Blues, an American restaurant. The students needed to take an exam at 1:00, so we were finished by 12:40 and off they went.

Lloyd cooked a goose that afternoon, and that evening three of Jose's friends came for another Thanksgiving dinner.

Then on Saturday we hosted 17 professors and family members who are part of IICS, our sending organization. They came around 2:00 and stayed until 7:30. We had a really good time together.

A special Thanksgiving treat was a phone call from my brother and sister in Albuquerque NM. Our connection wasn't the best, but it was so very nice of them to call!
