Thanksgiving

Karen, me, and my parents at the beach over Thanksgiving
My family, Karen, and I spent Thanksgiving with my Brazilian relatives in Myrtle Beach, SC. I hadn't been there in a year and a half, so it was good to be with them. There was lots of Portuguese spoken (though not by me!), and although we did have turkey, the rest of the meal wasn't the standard Thanksgiving mashed potatoes and green-bean casserole. It's good to be reminded that I come from a crosscultural family, which is a big reason why I'm in crosscultural ministry.
