Thanksgiving in Bolivia

On Thanksgiving Day our mission has all it's missionaries from across the country get together and celebrate together. There was food followed by a program where many talants were shared and then we sang Christmas carols together. Lots of food....all the traditional Thanksgiving musts except there was not any cranberry sauce to be found.
Here is Grant and I on Thanksgiving day and we are glistening because it was at least 90 degrees that day and inside it was worse with no air conditioning. It was a lot of fun though with lots of traditions to be a part of with World Gospel Mission.

That is in fact a turkey's head that our director's wife is holding. Every year it's tradition for Bonnie to sing "Oh Tom the turk, Oh Tom the turk why did you have to be a jerk" Holding in her hand a real turkey head. It stank to high heaven but it was good entertainment.
After all the programs and caroling we made bags full of school supplies for the pastor's children in the church group we support here. I think we made nearly two hundred bags up. School is going to be starting up again the end of January. Right now Bolivian kids are on summer break.
