                                            HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
Today we bid farewell the our beloved day workers.  It was their last day working but we are giving them a thank you lunch tomorrow.
The last two days have been very difficult for the galley and dinning room.  We worked very hard yesterday and put on a fabulous thank you lunch for the people here in Sierra Leon who have helped us accomplish what we came here to do. The day was quite difficult because the lunch was quite late (2PM-3PM) and then we had to make dinner.  So we had a very long day.

Bintia taking sandwiches to the day workers for lunch.  I had to take this picture cuz she was crying the sandwiches on her head!

Here's the lunch! Chicken skewers, Beef Kabobs, Deviled eggs, tea sandwiches, seafood salad on homemade crackers, avocado dip with chips.  Lots of hard work went into this meal :)

The princesses of the dinning room! Thank you ladies for all your hard work!
Today we made a delicious thanksgiving day meal for everyone.  Thanksgiving is a little weird here because it's only Thanksgiving today for all the Americans on board.  The Canadians had thanksgiving a month ago.  and the rest of the world doesn't celebrate thanksgiving.  so i actually almost forgot it was thanksgiving.  I didn't have all those commercials, advertising and food sales to remind me.
Tomorrow some the nurses who are no longer working in the hospital (all the patients left today) are coming to the galley to help with food preparation because we no longer have day workers.  So prayers would be much appreciated that things go smoothly.
last but not least, here is a picture that i forgot to put up from when i went to African church a couple weeks ago.
Krissy and I with Iroro (our day worker) and her husband and two sons at their church
 Also, here's a picture that i was just given.  We were watching the sunset from the pier (i was informed it's a pier and not a dock, a dock floats and a pier does not).
Left to right: June, Lynette, Jenny, Kelly, me :)
Goodnight all and HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
