In school, I had Davis and Walker write things they were thankful for on slips of paper and then make chains from those slips! Davis is thankful for his parents and brothers, fishing, green parrots (that we saw on the compound yesterday!), friends, computers, God's help, cows, and so much more!
Walker, who wrote on every strip himself, is thankful for his heart, life, house, parents, brothers, help, and that God made him!
Our whole team left the compound and had a lovely meal in Kapoeta at Mango Camp. We had roast chicken, ratatouille, mashed potatoes, rice, and fresh veggies--and we didn't have to cook!
It was delicious!
Today also happened to be Shannon's birthday. Carrie made an LSU colored cake, and we sang "Happy Birthday" and enjoyed the cake at Mango Camp.
Also, I am giving thanks to God today for electricity. Our power randomly went out right before we headed home (which is not a biggy, we can on without it), but the thing was that everything looked ok. I asked God for His help. He showed up! Shannon and Edwin discovered this one button was not on and a different light was shining...now, our power is on and is working just fine! PRAISE THE LORD!!!
To finish off the day, Mindy and I made pumpkin pie with a pumpkin that's been sitting on our counter for a while now. Mindy made the pie filling...
And I made the crust!
And we each had several meat samosas that we bought from Mango Camp as a light dinner. So good!
