Happy Thanksgiving

Today Rob and I shared desserts with the office workers at the mission and told them that we were celebrating Thanksgiving. It was entertaining to try and explain the concept of Thanksgiving to them because it involves American history and culture. Even to explain that many people watch football and eat lots of food is kind of a strange concept to them. Hardly anyone can afford a TV or a meal with meat, so to celebrate this way is very strange to them in deed. The ladies cooking made mashed potatoes though and baked pumpkin in honey to try and help us feel at home:) I appreciated the effort and thoroughly enjoyed the potatoes. Moriah rested a lot today as she recovered from her shots she got yesterday and it was overall a very quiet day. We continue to rejoice in God's provision and pray for His guidance on how to serve Him in a better and deeper way.
