Thanksgiving in Gulu, Uganda 2012

Our Thanksgiving day this year was a lot of fun.   We only had that one day to get all of the food ready.  We invited all eight of our missionaries to dinner plus the boy scout from Utah, his father, and the two family friends who came with him.  Two of the missionaries decided to come and do a service project that day and help us get dinner ready.  We would have never made it without them.  We had many other things to do that day.

We tried to stay as traditional as we could.   Our menu was, roasted chicken, mashed irish potatoes and gravy, scalloped corn, sweet potatoes, cabbage salad with pineapple, apples and bananas, rolls, pumpkin pie and banana cream tarts.  No cranberry sauce could be found.  Everyone seemed to enjoy it.  A smudge on the camera lens made the pictures not so good.

My keyboard students came to visit.  Patricia, Prishilla, Rachael, and Mercy.
They came from school, wearing their school uniforms.

Notice the African fabric that we used for the tablecloth.
