On Friday night, we celebrated with our small group at the home of Ryan and Keeley Blackstock, another missionary couple (from Kansas City.) The potluck featured a cross-cultural meal, as the 4 of us gringos introduced Thanksgiving to the rest of the group, most of whom had never experienced the holiday. Keeley cooked the turkey and made stuffing and mashed potatoes. I brought two pumpkin pies and a pecan pie. After those things, all resemblance to Thanksgiving dinner ended; but, the rest of the food was good, too. There was a red sauce, for the turkey, of course (they don't do gravy.) Rice loaded with veggies and cheese, garlic cheese bread, fruit and a salad.
After the meal, we went around the table and each person got an opportunity to share what they were most thankful for in 2012. It was amazing to hear the stories--different people with different things to share, but all linked by God's amazing grace.
Thanks to Ryan and Keeley for the pictures! See below to meet the other 8 couples who make up our small group.
