Happy Holidays!!!

Joel and I after our big Thanksgiving dinner at Jim and Cynthia Lemon's house


Here's Kristen stuffing her face. I'm not sure but I don't think all that food is going to fit.
Here's Joel enjoying his food. Yum! Yum!
Wow, what a feast we had this Thanksgiving! This was Kristen's plate.

Well, I was going to post more pics of our ministry stuff here in Africa but I guess I will post our holiday pics first because it takes so long with our internet. We had a really nice Thanksgiving with our missionary mentors, Jim and Cynthia Lemons and another missionary, Amelia. We all got together and had a really big Thanksgiving meal. We couldn't find a turkey but we had just about everything else. We had chicken, ham, sweet potato casserole, stuffing (the best I've had so far), green bean casserole, and pies (pumpkin--my favorite, pecan and coconut cream). Yummy!!! It was all so delicious. Cynthia did a wonderful job with the cooking. We had a good time of food and fellowship. It is always hard to be so far away from friends and family during the holiday season, but we are so grateful for the other missionary families here in Cameroon.

Well, we actually found an artificial Christmas tree in Yaounde and a few decorations. I am so happy that we will be able to have a Christmas tree even though it is really hot and dusty outside. So we are still working on decorating the tree as I post. I will try to get a picture posted as soon as possible.
