So, I know so many of you are chomping at the bit to know how our Thanksgiving Dinner turned out! :) On the edge of your seats, right? ;)
We started cooking at 10am on Thursday...5:00 comes and we're still running around like crazy people trying to finish this Thanksgiving feast. "Can you run and get this?" "When does the corn go in the oven!?" "I still gotta cut the cake!" "We forgot to put a trash bag in the bathroom!" "AAHH! There's the door!"
So at 5pm, the doorbell rang and our first group of 8 or 9 showed up. After that the door rang again...and again...and again...and again (aaaaannndd knitting aaaaahhhaaahhhaaanndd knitting - for all of you who would get that) until there were at least 23 of us in our tiny little apartment.
YEP...23 hungry students. After we assumed that most of our guests were here we (Scott) gave a little "Thanksgiving speech," welcomed them to our home, explained the rules of a "buffet!" They definitely dug the Hot Apple Cider. Everyone had a plateful (or two) and we still had enough food for our lunch with Wojtek & Aga the next day! They LOVED the pumpkin roll too, and the baked corn, and the cream cheese & ham dip! We even have one of those students coming over on Thursday of this week to show her how to make a pumpkin roll. :) So, after dinner we socialized a bit more and then watched the Thanksgiving episode of "Everybody Loves Raymond"...classic! They LOVED it! :)
We sat around some more & talked with our students, tried to get to know the new ones. Some stayed until 10:30pm! It was great...we couldn't have asked for a better night! We were pretty exhausted by the end of it though. Right now, we only have a couple pics of the food and one of some students who were here. I'm planning on developing my pictures this week so I'll have them posted within a couple of days.
The Feast!

23 college students! Praise God, and there was still food left over. I am so joyed the work of your hands did not go to waste. It looks like a great feast! Our church had our dinner this weekend as well, and it was amazing like yours! God is doing so many wonderful things at our church, and revival is next week, but it would seem the Holy Spirit has started a revival months ago in our tiny church home.
Well, I am so glad you are doing so well, and enjoying Poland. I look forward to doing mission work, and you guys are always such a huge encouragement to me. I LOVE YOU GUYS! God bless you! I am praying for Piotre!
In Christ,
Larry
way to go guys! Sounds like it was a huge success! I knew you could do it!
That food looks YUMMY, by the way!
XOXO
