Well, it is a very normal Thursday around here. Definitely no turkey. Thinking of everyone on this Thanksgiving and missing our families especially! We will be celebrating with a bunch of people on Saturday, I am roasting a chicken, Paul is making mashed potatos and gravy and there will definitely be pumpkin pie. We tried to initiate a turkey trot, but the excitement level was fairly low…we decided we will need t-shirts to make it legit. Maybe a jingle bell run, will be more popular.

Happy Thanksgiving to you all! I was wondering if you pulled off the turkey trot as we ran ours in Clearwater this morning. Perhaps if Asle were American you could get another supporter to help you inaugurate it. We saw a lot of pumpkins for sale on the side of the road on our way to back to Addis, so I’m sure you can have all the pumpkin pie you desire. Whipped cream may be hard to come by
Did you get your coffee? We spent 496 of your birr on it.
We were able to deliver the doxy to Joseph’s “step sister” on our way out of Soddo. Desalegn told us we should present it personally to her because it would mean she’d actually take it. We are so glad he was with us because he could translate and explain customs to us. The entire family was at church except for the one sister who needed the medicine. Once again, the Lord orchestrated the way things should be.
Please give our warm regards to everyone. I’ll write to everyone soon. Right now I’m swamped doing all the jobs that Rahel normally does – miss her!
