Thanksgiving Day...So much to be thankful for!








This Thanksgiving we celebrated with our teammates and were blessed to have a real turkey and all the fixings. Thanks to family who sent yams and pecans, karo syrup and coconut! It was a delicious meal and a blessing to be around the table with friends. This time of the year can be difficult to be away from our extended family but we have so much to be thankful for. After the huge meal, our families loaded up in two vans and drove to a nearby International School to support our boys in a basketball tournament. We are so thankful for Mr. Scott from our small school to take the time to form a team. Most of our boys have never played basketball or even learned the fundamentals of the game so this has been a huge blessing for Caleb and all the others. They have been practicing a couple days a week in our courtyard (not even a real gym) and then participated in a Winter Tournament hosted by a larger International School. The boys actually did great to be playing boys older and bigger than them. After the game, we ended our day with desserts and the children all gathered for a movie.
