We had a nice Thanksgiving with our cell group on Tuesday night. They were so sweet to eat the meal, which was full of weird things for them. They don't think turkey is weird, but stuffing and sweet potato casserole was teetering on strange foods for them. Greg gave them a little lesson about the meaning of Thanksgiving and then we had them go around the room and share what they were thankful for. One sweet man told us that it has been a life long dream to celebrate Thanksgiving with Americans, he has always been curious about it. He was very emotional about it, it was cool.
