Jason took Kathy, Nathan, and their oldest daughters to St. Paul's Cathedral where the American Ambassador was hosting a Thanksgiving Service. While they were out for the day, I was knee deep in the kitchen. But first I had to get kids to school (oh yeah, not a holiday here of course)! I should have taken play by play photos to journal the adventure in my kitchen that day, but let's just say, it all worked out.
We had our family: 7
The Berrett's: 7
Our Spanish Friend: 1
Local Missionaries: 2
Grand Total: 17!!!!
This may not seem like a big deal in the states with the fat double ovens and room, silverware, and settings for everyone, but let's just say, it was a bit of a stretch! But, the turkey surprisingly fit in our small oven, and we enjoyed our Thanksgiving Feast. And just as soon as it was over I was off with the young women in our group, and A.J. for their church youth activity, because remember, it's not a holiday!
