Happy Thanksgiving Everyone

As Lori is prepping the Pumpkin Pies, Green Bean Casserole and Jell-O Salad for our Thanksgiving meal here in Thailand, we remember all of you - our friends, family, support team, and church partners - with much Thanksgiving and Joy.

We have much to be Thankful for this year - it has been a healthy year for us physically, a milestone year for us linguistically, a growing year for us in ministry and an unspeakably wonderful year for us as we have watched Abigail discover the world around her.

We are coming out of a busy season of village travel - having celebrated the rice harvest in four villages, attended a funeral and generally traveled to Akha villages throughout the region - building upon old relationships and forming new ones.

We are currently preparing for the next year, as I am sure many of you are, and trying to get our business affairs in order as we have a short break around Thanksgiving. There is so much we still want to update you all on - medical and dental clinics, ministry direction and future plans and general life happenings - but for now we want to wish you all a happy and healthy Thanksgiving filled with friends and family.

Thanks for following our adventures here in Thailand!

  1. Happy Thanksgiving. We’ve been thinking of you today
    and wondering if you’ve discovered how to make “cran berry sauce” out of roselle? We’ll be in touch soon to find out more about what we can send you with Lori’s folks.

    Thanks for thinking of us! Holidays can be pretty weird on the mission field. But Thanksgiving is one of our most traditional celebrations!

    As for the cranberry sauce, I actually found frozen cranberries at the store and was able to make my Grandma’s famous cranberry jello salad. Unfortunately the jello didn’t set up correctly so it was really more like cranberry soup… but it was still tasty!
