On Thursday after school I walked to Isoko. Dahlia and I were almost out of matches and
candles so I went down to the shop to pick some up. As I turned to leave I saw two white men
walking up to the store! I must have had
a shocked took on my face because they came up to me and immediately started
explaining who they are and why they were in Isoko. The uncle of one of the men is the doctor who
started the hospital in Isoko in the 1960’s.
So the men were here to see the hospital and the community. They invited me to join them for a soda so we
sat and talked for a while. But then I had
to get going, I had to get home to prepare Thanksgiving dinner with Dahlia. Nothing
says Thanksgiving like eggs, potatoes, and mangos! It was a delicious, although atypical,
Thanksgiving dinner. Dahlia and I read
some Psalms about giving thanks to God and then spent the evening talking about
all of the things that we have to give thanks for here. It was a unique Thanksgiving for sure, but I had
a lot of fun!
