Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving!

 I must be having lots of fun because they always say time flies when you are having fun. And time does seem to be flying by quickly!

(If you ever find out who the THEY are, please let me know.)

Its hard for me to believe that is our third Thanksgiving here in Taiwan.

Two years ago, we had our official Thanksgiving dinner Wednesday evening. So on Thursday, we rode our bikes to a dumpling shop about 2 kilometres from our house. Although nontraditional, it was delicious!

Look how young they look!

Steamed dumplings!

Hot and sour soup!

Last year, our OMS family gathered in Kenting, the Taiwan "beach town".

A very special group of people.

The perfect Thanksgiving view!

Thankful for vacations... no matter how short!

We love the beach!

Besides eating turkey, stuffing, and pumpkin pie, we had a great time relaxing a fellowshipping with our fellow OMS missionaries.

As the sun is going down on this Thanksgiving day, it is just beginning for my friends and family in America. Moms (and maybe some dads) will soon be getting up and preparing to dress the turkey.

Our turkey has been consumed, as well as all the other yummies served on Thanksgiving Day, and we are now in that comatose state  asking why, oh, why did we have that last piece of pumpkin pie.

Everything is ready!

Once again we celebrated this holiday with our OMS family. 

We came. We saw. We ate.

Waiting for their turn to get in line.

While we miss being with our families, especially Nick, we are so thankful for our OMS family. They are a special group of people God has placed in our lives. 

May God bless you and your family this Thanksgiving no matter where you may be!
