Happy Thanksgiving from West Africa. Here in Mali - it just Thursday. Today is the first of many holidays that will be different. First it is very hot today and secondly, nobody else knows there is a holiday. The same will be for Christmas!
We celebrated last night with the rest of our team mates and we had a traditional feast. It was complete with Turkey, Ham, mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy, green beans, pumpkin pie, sweet potato casserole (for which Luke was very happy). It was a great time of celebrating with our friends here. We miss being with our friends and family back home. We wanted to let you know how thankful we are for your blessings, prayers, and support for our family!
We pray that you have a blessed time of reflection and thanks for your many blessings. Tomorrow we will be travelling to a town called Segou - we will be there until Monday. Pray for safe travels and a good time of relaxation and rest.
