Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

This past Tuesday, Oct 10 we celebrated Canadian Thanksgiving with a group of friends.  We also celebrated Dan’s birthday and acknowledged another friends birthday from last month.

Happy Birthday Dan!

How many are you now?

Little did we know they were relighting candles! Ha Ha!

Our Thanksgiving / Birthday Celebration

We had to have our Thanksgiving dinner on Tuesday because Phil and Dan went on a ministry trip to Oaxaca on the weekend and returned on Monday. It was a good trip.

While Phil and Dan were away, Carolyn was not only preparing great eats for our Thanksgiving dinner, she headed out on Saturday with some friends to help rebuild a woman’s home that had been severely damaged in the earthquake.

Here are some pics of the flooding in areas of Oaxaca. Many people have lost their crops.

It’s been quite the busy month so far, and more yet to come! Thanks so much for your prayers and support!
