Thanksgiving day was so much fun! We had many cakes, pies, and the rest of a traditional Thanksgiving dinner. The family that I was staying with invited several other of our worker families on the field in order to celebrate.
This week we also continued in our English classes as well as our saturday night study. This saturday was a little different than usual though. A former church of my host families came over this saturday in order to have a meeting. This pastor, of a church in Kizilay, invited his entire congregation to this meeting on the previous sunday. Now there is something that you must know about this congregation. Now I am not trying to be racist but just follow me for a second. This congregation was about 99.9 % African origin from all over the world. On last sunday the pastor told this entire congregation of about 50-60 Africans that there would be KFC at the house for free. We had litterally 205 peices of chicken at this house and it was gone within two hours. That is counting all of the sides as well. Can you guess how many people come on saturday to the meeting? Almost every single one. We had a great laugh about the simple irony in the matter. The house had reached its capacity and more.
That night when everyone from the previous meeting had left we had another party to cook for. We decided to not have our every saturday bible study but, instead a party. We made a huge pot of oily spaghetti and seven big loaves of garlic bread. It was a great night full of good food, fellowship and not having to fight off the little kids.
