Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to you!!!
It is a bit strange to think it is Thanksgiving already. It is not talked about much and we have to work the whole week. Oh yeah, we are in China. I have parent teacher conferences on Thursday and Friday we have a staff development day. We will be thinking of all of you.

Tonight we had the first of our Thanksgiving meals. The families from school and campus village had a potluck. It was fun to try new food and see more people. It has been cold so we all stay in the house these days. Thursday night the teachers are being treated to a Thanksgiving Feast and then on Sunday the staff is having a potluck meal. Sounds like the year we tried to make everyone happy and had thanksgiving at 3 houses in one day. OH that was fun

Doug is recovering from a cold. Last week he had this cold and he had no voice. We whispered a lot. He said he found his students doing the same. Now his voice is back and he found out today that he has an ear infection. We are thankful for the Medical Clinic here on campus.

This week has been fun learning new things. When you can’t get stuff here you take things into your own hands. I made my own ricotta cheese, sour cream, and ice cream. What’s next?? Stay tuned.

Matthew and Isaac performed during community time last Friday. The first graders performed a skit on Nutrition. It was so cute. Isaac’s class signed the ABC’s. They also have learned some new jokes so watch out. They have been sharing them with everyone on Skype. We are thankful for SKYPE.
We will post pictures soon.

We miss and love you all. Happy Thanksgiving!!!!
