Can you believe that it is already December? Where did the rest of the year go? I really don't know where the time has gone from coming to Mongolia in August and realizing it is already December. Crazy crazy crazy.
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday this year. My actual Thanksgiving day meal (on the Thursday) was a cheesy ramen that I ate by myself at my home. But don't loose heart! I more than made up for it on the following Saturday with a great party with my team here in UB. We met at a coffee shop that we rented for the afternoon and shared the traditional Thanksgiving fare with everyone: chicken (no turkeys to be found in this city), mashed potatoes, yams 2 ways, rolls, salad, corn, cranberry sauce, apple salad, deviled eggs - brought by yours truly, and a pumpkin cake with cream cheese frosting for dessert. It really was a great time. We spent time in the Word and time uplifting one another as the afternoon went on. Then after, some of us went to a teammates house and watched the movie Hook and played phase 10. It was a great day.

How was your Thanksgiving? I hope it was filled with friends, family, and great food. I hope your coming holiday season is filled with love, laughter, and great memories! Here are some pictures I hope you all enjoy!
