A Fantastic Thanksgiving
I’m glad to have people on our team who value traditions. We spent Thanksgiving in Ancona with our teammates Matt & Angie. They prepared a FANTASTIC feast … there wasn’t a single dish that I would eat on Thanksgiving in the USA that wasn’t on the table. Matt had the Macy’s Day parade on the TV (recorded from about 2 years ago!). Angie prepared a beautiful table. Our whole team (at least, those of us in Italy right now), Matt Hodges (a good friend from the USA), and Harold & Enid Fowler (longtime missionaries in Italy) were all there. It was great.
Our team needs Matt & Angie. I always enjoy doing big holiday things, but honestly wouldn’t ever thing to plan them on my own. Being away from friends and family in America is tough around the holidays. But friends like Matt & Angie make it a lot easier.
