Just an Update

We are waiting for the "Go" call from the Salvation Army and the missionaries here in Georgia. When we get the call half of us will go to the Salvation Army warehouse and the other half of us will go distribute food to the displaced people from the war. The Salvation Army is receiving a new container and have only a twenty-four hour period to unload it, so we will help provide some manpower. The distribution group will go to one place with thirteen families and distribute goods such as blankets, pots, plates and so forth. Then they will go to another building with 160 people. We went there yesterday, so today we will distribute the rest of the food, play with the children and have a mini program with the youth and adults.

Until then we are talking, catching up on emails and Facebook, eating food and resting up for the day. Thanksgiving is on Thursdsay and we will spend it with the international church here in Georgia. It will be my first Thanksgiving away from home and my first Thanksgiving abroad. It will be interesting to see how this Thanksgiving works out. The interns are bringing mashed potatoes and drinks. I can't wait to peel all those potatoes - in Strasini I got kicked out the kitchen for peeling potatoes to slow - I don't think that will happen Thursday morning =). I have to go. Have a good Thanksgiving. Live in Christ Love!

I attached some more pictures below...
