Thanksgiving in Zambia

Over a week ago we celebrated our US Thanksgiving here in Zambia.
Susan Lukaart from MI was here and we invited Erna and Johan Bosman as
well as Pastor and Mary Zulu to join the Kamau family and our family
in our traditional meal. We shared with them all the traditions
around this holiday and it made us think about it more. Of course the
main event is the meal. Those of us from the US all had different
things that "had" to be part of the meal. Susan always has squash.
Kimberly always has macaroni and cheese with their meal. We talked
history together, both US and South African.

After our meal, we then joined the Hamelrycks and Pattys for desert.
Our visitors couldn't believe all the different kinds of pies –
pumpkin, apple, pecan. It was a very blessed day for all of us. It
was made especially meaningful by having people present who had never
before been part of a traditional US Thanksgiving meal.
