November of Thanks

November was a great month with lots of reasons to be thankful for. Corni and I continued to go to Peris as much as possible. In the middle of the month they started to require a "green pass" to be able to get in to see the kids. This is the European Union document that confirms covid vaccination. Right now in Romania with out this pass you can only go into grocery stores, no other stores or public areas. At Peris we did a special Thanksgiving themed class. We did thanksgiving taste, touch, and smell, played bingo with Thanksgiving English words and with the littles did a riveting game of find the turkey.

After two years, my previous housemate and ministry partner, Jenny, was able to come for a visit. It was really nice to have her here and have her help with the H2H Thanksgiving and with Ruthie and Karla. She was here for two weeks and it felt like we put two months of activities into that time! Lots of great moments to be Thankful for! We were also able to celebrate Emi's 11th birthday during the Thanksgiving celebration.

Because of Covid restrictions, it was a little uncertain if we could have our Thanksgiving celebration. We were able to go ahead, but with a smaller group (35-40). As usual, we had a time of sharing of things we saw God do in the past year. Because of the smaller number we were able to have each person share and it was a very special time. It was a very special part of the day and I was really blessed by the time.
