Thanksgiving FEAST

Bethany and Nathan invited us to join them at their hotel today to share Thanksgiving with them.  I know we are no replacement to their family but I hope we helped make it a more memorable day.  It certainly was that for us.  Our first thanksgiving and the first of many I hope!  I know my special little girl absolutely loved it.

We went for food, sorry, The Feast, with Nathan, Bethany and Jaydn after our pool and hot tub time.  (The net is so slooooow today, there are a lot of other piccies but they won't upload tonight, sorry)
We learned from the Gaddis' all about the history of Thanksgiving.  We all took turns in saying what we were grateful for today.  Then the food started!  Nathan really intended for us to feel the same as he does back home each year: stuffed!  We had a variety of foods, with Lutaaya Deborah having one of her trusted favourites, fish and chips.  The off for some ice cream.  To our disappointment, the ice cream flavours at the one coffee shop were all sold out, I blame all these Thanksgiving Feasters!  Although I had said the place we tried was going to be our VISA celebration venue for ice cream, so maybe it was God's way of telling us not quite yet time to celebrate?!  So back to the food mall to get the kids ice cream and us big kids milkshakes!

So as we go to bed tonight, we are thankful for:
* The Gaddis family, sharing their experience and days with us.
* That we are now at the end of our Ugandan journeys, and even though we can't see the light at the end of the tunnel yet, we know it is going to happen SOON.
* For our wonderful guest house and all it's staff who make our stay so pleasureable.
* For everyone back home and worldwide, who have been praying for us and continue to do so. 
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
