On November 24 it was not only my birthday and Anziano Jacob's birthday but it was also American Thanksgiving! We had a great celebration. It isn't easy to find a whole turkey in Italy. They just don't eat them here. (whole, that is) One of our wonderful friends from the English class we help with said she would order one through her meat market on her street. We told her to go ahead and get one that is about 7 kilos. We went to pick it up and it looked very lonely in the display cooler with only beef and horse meat. It still had lots of feathers on it and it looked a bit skinny but it was delicious and fed us all. Thanks, Giulia! Of course we had potatoes, gravy, and all the fixings to go along with it. The missionaries brought lots of dessert to celebrate our birthdays.

I decided I needed chocolate trifle! Yum!
Later that night we went to English class and everybody brought treats to celebrate American Thanksgiving and (my birthday) They sang "Tanti Auguri" to me.(Happy Birthday or Many best wishes)
