It’s already getting late on Wednesday, Oct. 26, here. (Late being a relative term — relative to the fact that there aren’t really lights here and our days are starting around 5 a.m.)
So being Americans, we’re looking forward to Thanksgiving tomorrow.
No, the missionary families here won’t be serving us a traditional meal with all the trimmings. Although Carolyn Crockett did say she thinks she has a can of cranberries.
No, we’ve actually been seeing reasons to be thankful all along, and saw another today.
Rainbows are actually pretty common here … but we saw the first one of our stay here today. Used to be, the Mois connected the rainbow with the spirits. Even called the spirit’s walking stick. It was a bad sign.
But today it represents God’s promise to never flood the world again. Which is a pretty big deal when you live with this much rain, I guess.
I can’t wait to see what we get to give thanks for on Thursday.
