This year was a very special Thanksgiving for us. We decided to invite all our friends to join us for a big evening celebration. Hannah cooked all day long. She baked a 24lb. turkey, mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, green beans, stuffing, corn and six pumpkin pies to top it all off. She worked so hard and did a fantastic job! Our friends arrived dressed in their best. This was a great honor for them. We shared testimonies to thanks for the many blessings we have received throughout the year. I gave a little gospel message and then we sang some songs. It was such a great time. I told them the story of Thanksgiving and what happened to the Pilgrims when they landed at Plymouth Rock. After a word of prayer we started feasting. They loved it!! Everyone wanted to take an extra plate home so we have very few left-overs. We really felt like family. We didn't want them to leave. But since it isn't a holiday here, everyone had to work the following morning. So by 10:30 everyone left. It was definitely one of our most enjoyable Thanksgivings ever!

I am so impressed with Hannah's cullinery skills. Looks like Eric didn't have to worry about getting getting a good cook! :>)
Wow - Hannah, you're brave. That turkey looks awesome!
Looks like everyone had a wonderful time.
buen, buen trabajo, que creo que despues de disfrutar la comida, lo mas importante seria que pierdan temor de llagar a su casa. luego despues podran venir con mas frecuencia y confianza-
Hannah, I am so proud of you! Bro. Truesdale and I were talking about how awesome it is to see you following and serving Jesus. You are being such a wonderful example and blessing! Great will be your reward in heaven. Your little JZ is SUCH a DOLLIE!
Eric, I LOVE reading your blog. IT's like visiting the mission field on a regular basis. It's so easy to pray because we feel like we know what's going on and are a part of it. You're a wonderful husband - building up and encouraging your wife.
May God continue to bless you all as you labor for Him.
