Thanksgiving In Nepal

This time of year is one of the hardest for us. It is the holidays, where friends, family and good friends spend time over a good meal and great conversation. This year's Thanksgiving was more than we expected here in Nepal.

We have started going to a weekly Fellowship on Thursday evenings with expats from all different countries, representing many amazing organizations. You wouldn't know it by the pictures but these guys are the real deal, they have given up everything to be here, some of them over 20 years.

We got to have the dinner at our house which was held on Thursday the 27th, so we prepared the best thanksgiving meal we could for 17 people, and only 3 of us were Americans, so it was a blast going around the room and seeing what everyone was thankful for. This group has been great for us and has given us a home away from our church home back in the states that we can lean on. We take turns at one anothers houses and splitting up the sharing A typical night would look like a not so fancy dinner followed by  talking, giving advice, worshiping and praying. We thank God for giving us this group.

Happy Thanksgiving, friends and family back home. You are never out of our minds and prayers, especially during this time of the year.
