Thanksgiving
Canadian Thanksgiving holiday!
There's always plenty of things to be thankful for. Like health, good friends, loving family, a special someone (or lack of?), etc.
And you know what we did to celebrate the weekend?
Celebration! Church put together a huge free thanksgiving dinner on Sunday evening. They spent the previous week with a mission team from South Carolina walking around campus, and inviting university and college students. Many who were not able to spend thanksgiving with family, or even international students, some of which have never heard of thanksgiving before.
Turn out was pretty good, around 60-70 people to consume most of the food. 2 turkeys, hams, chilis, chicken, side dishes, 12 pies, cakes, brownies, cookies, and lots of softdrinks.
We even had about 5 homeless people come in, which we then invited to eat their fill.
A great evening of thankfullness, food, games, making friends, and reaching out to the community.
