Happy Canadian Thanksgiving!!

Hey lovely blog viewers!

I hope you are enjoy walking this journey along with me! This week was full of greetings and re-connections as I was meeting up with "old" friends I hadn't seen in over 2 weeks. Everyone seemed to have realized I had been gone and now Mami's daughter as they call me had returned. (my name is still hard to say even though the butter has the same name and there is a song a well).

Canadian Thanksgiving is TOMORROW, so this means I have to work here BUT I did get to celebrate throwing a party on Sat. All the "white" people came early (i think it was the aroma of pizza that brought them), even ones I didn't invite but it was ok. Christy, who is my fellow Canadian here brought some delicious pizza and pop and then I order pizza, veggies, fufu and jamajama for the Cameroonians, cake, and popcorn. The Cameroonians also finally came all but 3 that I invited, but they love pizza too so I had tons of fufu left over. Go figure! My Cameroonian "mother" suggested that we could take them to one of the bill penders that didn't have any food. So we spread the cheer!

Cameroonians are celebrating Thanksgiving all month of Oct. Each Sunday one quarter brings the fruits of their farms. As you can see from the picture there was tons that they all paraded in the church and then took outside to be auctioned where all the money went back to the church. We got caught in the rain but still had a great time! My roommate Jennifer (the one in the picture with me eating sugarcane which someone gave us from the fruits) came with me and we had a blast. She has now been here a week and is adjusting well. We get along great and talk for hours at night. God is keeping me safe and way from strange germs. Thank you for your prayers and love! Miss you all!
