We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We were invited to one of the many military church in Germany - near Stuttgart. We packed and left early on Wednesday morning, arrived in time for dinner with the other missionary families that had been invited, both foreign and those German missionaries nearby. Wednesday's prayer meeting was great. Our family stayed with a German family from the church, truly a blessing. On Thursday morning, we did a little shopping before heading to the church for fun and games. At 6:00 we had Thanksgiving dinner, a feast of great American favorites. The ladies went far above that which was anticipated. They had gifts for the missionary wives and children, and also gave each family a large box of American treats to take home. Friday, we had breakfast at church then off to the Christmas market (our boys decided to go with some other boys and men to the Mercedes museum). On Saturday, the church family rented some lanes at the bowling center on Base. Jeff and I were guest of the pastor which allowed us to shop at the PX and the commissary on the American base. This was the first time Jeff and I have had that blessing - we came home with many American items for the holidays.
Sunday was disappointing, we had to cancel services because of illness in our family and other members. This is another reason to keep asking the Lord for a building/room for BBBC to meet.
