We took the day off on Thursday, went shopping in the morning and cooked all afternoon. We ate a roasted chicken with rosemary, stuffing from scratch (made with leek-ish veggies as a substitute for celery), mashed potatoes, green beans, gravy and biscuits (made by Mark).
Our colleague Patrick came with his girlfriend and another American guy Mark met last week joined. It was pretty low-key for me and that was my main objective, along with having a special day. As we were sitting down, the electrician (who we'd been waiting for all day) came! But the food and company were both wonderful, and we're glad we were able to host and have a nice Thanksgiving.
I feel like I don't have the capacity to say anything very substantial or reflective, but God is good, and He has been near to us during this first month in DR Congo. I am very thankful for his grace!
