Thanksgiving

It has been the tradition of the Maryknoll Lay Missioners to hold their annual regional meeting in Nairobi over Thanksgiving weekend. It gives us the chance to celebrate this American holiday with fellow Maryknoll priests and sisters. We arrive by Wednesday evening. Thanksgiving morning is a retreat of the lay missioners. This year it was led by Judy who helped us relax with yoga and meditation. That afternoon you are on your own. John and I went to the Nigerian High Commission to pick up our visas for our Christmas trip to see Katrina. The evening meal is the traditional Thanksgiving feast as best as we can do in Kenya.

We though you might like to see some photos from our celebration.
