happy thanksgiving

yes, we did have a traditional US thanksgiving dinner, complete with turkey, stuffing and several types of pie (including pumpkin and pecan!!). we were very happy to accept an invitation to the pittman's house because they are actually here as missionaries and so they didn't have to go to school on thanksgiving day (as we did!). they have two kids in abigail's second grade class and they live a block away. after stuffing ourselves quite sufficiently, we enjoyed playing some games for the rest of the afternoon.

we did miss celebrating with family - i thought of many happy family thanksgivings back in the US, but we were thankful to have new friends who were willing to open their home up to a big crowd.

prayer request:
remember the post about how we found our house? well, we are having a hard time finding a house for the new family that has been assigned to us. we have been looking for three weeks and thought we had it settled earlier this week, only to find out the house we had found had already been rented. they are arriving in three weeks!
