The Friday before Thanksgiving the Senior class had a Thanksgiving banquet as a fundraiser. Grant and I went and sat with some people from our mission. It is very cheap here to rent chairs and tables, table cloths, dishes and glasses so they rented everything for 150 people and set it up in our gym. We had chicken instead of turkey but the theme of the night was turkeys. They had emcees talking about facts about turkeys and jokes etc. Before dinner our waitress said we had to pick one person from our table as a representative but we didn't know for what. My table nominated me to go up on stage. It turned out to be a game show and there were questions about turkeys and the country of Turkey. I was last to answer a question and I was hoping it wasn't something about the government of Turkey. Instead my question was "What does a Turkey say?" Relieved it wasn't a difficult question I gobbled away. There was a panel of judges that voted on the best responses and a Queen and King were named. You guessed it. I was named Turkey Queen. I was given a crown and a flag from the country and asked to address my people. It was a fun night and I don't think I'll forget too soon the night I was named Queen of Turkeys.
