Thanksgiving week! Lots for which to be THANKFUL!! Geoff had his first blood work complete this past week and it all looked good! We sent it off via email to the U.S. On Sunday he shared about the advent season and how we as a church will be participating this year. He also spoke appreciation later in the afternoon to those who have served in our Sunday School programs this year. And in the evening we all traveled to the vocational school site in Kiwoko to be honored by a dinner prepared and hosted by the entire vocational school staff. We found ourselves longing for the pages of that elusive "missionary manual" entitled, "How to graciously eat, Eat, and EAT some more!!!!!!"On Monday Geoff traveled to Kampala to pick up the "new" van we bought. With that behind him, he feels a huge weight off of his shoulders. It took no less than 6 trips through road construction and crammed traffic to get the deal sealed!
Here is the new van! Sam unloaded the newest lot of juicy pineapples!

After Geoff arrived home the kids wanted their first ride! Do you think they were excited???
Aaaaaannnnndd, a trip to Kampala in November is never complete without a grasshopper purchase!!
Acacia's birthday is this Friday and Geoff doesn't want to have ANYTHING to do with Kampala for awhile now that the van is home, so he bought her an early birthday present of her favorite grasshoppers. She took them to school that afternoon, but no one wanted to share! Can you believe it? Her teacher, Danette, was at least brave enough to try, but she said the eyes "staring" at her were a BIG deterrent!

Our dear Jesca was so excited about the new van!
Our "hollywood helper" little miss cathy. She comes to work each day with her mom and is such a cutie!
