We just had our 2nd Thanksgiving in Cameroon.  Once again, no turkey — that bird’s over rated, I think.  But this year, thanks to the investment of some Wycliffe Associate folks, an orphanage near Rain Forest has been raising chickens for almost a year now.   And this year they have some nice big ones ready for the holiday season.  I’m told that chicken is the meal of choice for Cameroonians at Christmas.

Once again we went over to Stoker’s house for a wonderful dinner.

One table was enough for us all this year — Boeckels and Falconers,

Z’s and Ellen (RFIS teacher).  Notice the candles are not lit — that’s intentional.  Here it gets pretty warm in late November.  Add a few bodies and the room’s temp rises so the fan needs to go on… and blows out the candles.  No need to light them, the table is beautiful, company is friendly and food is good. 

We hope all our American friends enjoyed a Happy Thanksgiving too!
