Nda Yu! Za Thanksgiving Kimsi... (in Lyélé)

Happy Thanksgiving from us to all of you. We won't be watching any football games today or playing in the rain.... but we will be eating TURKEY! It's about 100F here today in Ouahigouya, Burkina Faso. We're getting ready to prepare an America-style meal tonight. Sonia and I are bringing the garlic mashed potatoes.

Definitely a lot to be thankful for. We're thankful for each other, our families, our friends and to be having this experience in AFRICA! When you live in one of the poorest countries in the world and see what it is really like to live without very much (and still be content), it makes you appreciate everything WE have in America/Canada.

Give each other all a big hug for us. And please watch A LOT of football for me (Ryan).
