Happy Thanksgiving! We give thanks today for many things. We had a super day today doing all the same things as yesterday. The pastor of the church seems to be overwhelmed with joy as he watches the progress. He is not used to how fast things are getting done. We want to send a special thank you to those at Cornerstone who wrote words of encouragment and scriptures for us to read while here. We shared several of them with each other this morning at breakfast as part of our Thanksgiving devotional. The ladies of the church were told that this was a holiday for us. Several ladies asked many questions as to why we celebrate and what Thanksgiving is. We had a wonderful surprise when the ladies prepared turkey, mashed potatoes, bread, sweet bread, hot chocolate, and rice. The pastor, his wife, and all of the Mastor´s commision kids came to our hotel with the food and we all sat down for a banquet. What a wonderful way to say we love you too! The relationships that are being established are amazing. In spite of language barriers love is able to transcend. Please continue to pray for us as we have one more work day left. God bless you all and we will see you soon.
