...well at least to those from Canada! This past Saturday our director, who is Canadian, held a thanksgiving meal at her house. It was an evening full of traditional thanksgiving food complete with stuffing, mashed potatoes, squash, salad, bread, chicken, corn, and much to Kaarina's delight, pickles and olives! I believe it was one of the few meals where we have not eaten rice since coming to Lao. Needless to say it sure did feel like thanksgiving as we returned home with the typical 'stuffed' bellies.

'Home' for us has recently changed again as we just said our goodbyes to our host family of two months. They blessed us with a farewell bacci done with Christian flair. Apart from the traditional string tyeing and blessings we sung a few Christian songs and recited the Lord's prayer as our host family is Catholic. We are now living in the MCC guest house as we prepare for our move to Tha Thom in just over a week's time. Finishing up language study this week and purchasing various household items are on our list of things to do.

We are excited as we enter this new time of transition and are eager to settle into a new home in Tha Thom.
