Thanksgiving Day
Today is Thanksgiving Day and since most of the students at the school are American, we have today and tomorrow off. (Two of the students are Canadian, but they don't mind celebrating Thanksgiving twice, once in October and once in Nov.) At about 1:00 we went to the house of one of our students families for the traditional Thanksgiving feast. There were about 40 people there and, of course, that meant lots of good food. We didn't have any turkey, but most of the other traditional dishes were there, including my favorite -- pumpkin pie and whipped cream. After lunch there was even the traditional football game on television. Through the internet we were able to see the Dallas Cowboys take on Philadelphia.
Afterwards Brad, Michelle and I came to a nearby internet cafe and Brad showed me how to set up my computer to use skype (a great program that allows you to call anywhere in the world for about 3 cents/minute using the internet). I was able to call my family and wish them a Happy Thanksgiving. Isn't technology great. I truly have much to be thankful for this holiday.

Mom was excited to have received your phone call right when your car was causing problems. Good to hear from you. People at church ask every Sunday how you're doing. I've been making stuff up, so they'll probably want to see the ring for themselves when you return ;)
