We celebrated Thanksgiving a little early this year, on November 19. About 45 of us gathered in the section of northern Madrid known as "Sanchinarro," where we are currenlty planting a new church. We cooked four turkeys, and our guests brought lots of trimmings. We invited a mix of believers and not-yet believers; Spaniards, Latinos, and Americans. Carol organized a quartet that sang "Now Thank We All Our God," and then led us in country line dancing (just like the first Pilgrims, right?!) To top it off, our special guests Abraham Lincoln and William Bradford wove the gospel into the story of the first Thanksgiving!
