Dear beloved supporters,
Thanksgiving Day in Tanzania…was just another day, for the most part. Getting to discuss the history and concept with the students, as usual, brought on questions about other aspects of American history and family traditions. Most of their history classes to this point have been about Tanzania and Africa, with only an overview of world…and most of that European…history.
When we finally settled down to our meal for the day, we did think more about our families and friends in America…how they would be enjoying turkey, ham, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie…and so much more… No, our imaginations could not bring any of that to replace the taste of our beans and rice. Still, we did give thanks for His provision for the day and always; and we thank our God for the relationships demonstrated by this ministry…both the senders on your end and the recipients on this end: thankful students and their teachers.
We hope your Thanksgiving Day was full and wonderful in His grace.
Love,
Gary and Joanne
