thanksgiving 2009


We had a wonderful time with several Fuller students from various countries; Uganda, Germany, Cameroon and missionary to the Philippines. While we were in Cameroon in 2007 we met Barbara and Blaise Beboua's parents (he in long white embroidered shirt, she in the middle of three ladies on the couch in brown gown) and they arrived in the United States for the first time last week. What a joy to have them in our home along with their family that they have not see for 6 years. Also Blaize's aunt (on couch in purple gown) who is here caring for their 3 children while Barbara and Balise study. David and Anna Ofumbi and little girl were with us, Nicole from Cameroon (in yellow and white gown), Birgit Herppich from Germany (holding child in 4 photos), and Jacquiline Huggins (Wycliffe in the Philippines) in red sweater.

In the one photo you see the children and Blaise checking out the reindeer Georgia is making from fallen palm fronds. The kids thought they looked more like elephants!
It was such a lovely afternoon we prayed in the back yard and then ate in the dining room inside.
