Lori,
From my perspective, there's such a sense of peace and just plain "right" from the first time you told me of this adventure to now, as our family watched a couple of your videos. May you continue in His righteousness and anointing! Noah and Valor asked if we could go see you guys. The potential is greater, seeing that our change jar is still filling for Turkey and my sister's family's plans have stalled out. Praying for your spirit -away from loved ones. missy harrison

Southern Thanksgiving
Love the Top10 List! It's good to know you are adapting to your new 'neighborhood.' smilies/smiley.gif

We spent Thanksgiving in Nashville (a literal good ole' red neck Thanksgiving -Jonny fried the turkey, we rode 4-wheelers, the Jeep, chopped wood, and the boys went hunting!)

Megan reminded us to pray for ya'll - she wondered if you had to bring your turkey all the way from America or if you'd be able to find one in Africa! Troy is telling you, "ori, know" (Lori, snow.) He wants you to know it's snowing today. Miss you a lot today!

Hugs & Kisses!
Jeanne

P.S. Check your email!

On Saturday, Judah chopped the head off a turkey out at the Laster's. It made me think of Luke with the African-chicken-butchering experience. I read #1 and I had to share.
Can't wait to hear more new-experience stories!
