Here in Buagyi, the governor came to town as a result of us being there. We helped to buy a bull for the slaughter and delivered our gifts to the governor, the commissioner of East Mundri and of West Mundri. The whole thing was televised and we all had a chance to speak. I must have done an amazing job because after I was done Darren said, "My name is Darren Davis and I echo what pastor Doug said." It was hilarious.
When the governor came, the killed the bull in the middle of the Mundri road and then the governor jumped over it. It was gross but cool.
All of us want to wish you a happy Thanksgiving and while you eat turkey, watch the parade and football. Please pray for us. Our turkey is a bull and I'm not sure what the honored part to eat is. Rocky Mountain Oysters anyone? Seriously I only want a ribeye!

Hillcrest Church and Falls Community Church have joined together to bring the Gospel as well as humanitarian aid to a remote village in Southern Sudan. The people of Southern Sudan have been devastated by the long civil war and genocide over religious freedom. Food security is the most important need in the area we are traveling to. We are going to help the village of Kalalayi build a farm that can sustain the village and produce enough extra as to sell in the local markets.

Strange Thanksgiving

I think you guys are having a much cooler Thanksgiving than we are. Cooking a frozen turkey seems pretty tame compared to the bull. Kind of tough to have that experience in a subdivision. Happy Thanksgiving. We miss you guys. Love you Deena.
