Silas' first Thanksgiving...but definitely not his first Mission's Conference!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday with Pastor Hamby and his family in Trois Rivieres. His wife, Amanda, cooked us a wonderful Thanksgiving meal and also fed us some great home cooking during the Mission's Conference. During our stay, our kids had so much fun playing with the Hamby kids (Joshua, Noah, and Luke). They would spend almost all day in the woods behind the church, building forts and clubhouses. They pillow "fought", played games and had so much fun laughing. We adults spent most of our time telling stories and laughing until we cried. What a wonderful family and what a wonderful few days we spent together!

Friday evening started their first annual Mission's Conference at The Faith Baptist Church in Trois Rivieres. Pastor Hamby told me that he found out the church members were very nervous about their Faith Promise Commitments. Apparently, when he first told them about Faith Promise and supporting missionaries, they thought they would be responsible to give us ALL of our monthly needed support!

I was the speaker for the conference and our family sang for all of the services. We showed our slides and gave testimonies. We also had an international banquet on Saturday evening. We tried foods from Russia, Indonesia, China, Italy, Philippines, and a host of other countries. The foods were all great! We truly love the Hamby family, they are a very special family. We hope you enjoy the next few pictures from our Trois Rivieres' Adventure!

Wonderful Thanksgiving Meal!!!Silas was enjoying his very first Thanksgiving!

Wonderful Friends....Wonderful Fellowship.....

Banquet Placemats with the Conference theme "Share the Light!" Setting up for the Banquet....There were more tables in the foyer of the church as well. I think the total for the banquet was 35 in attendance!Our kids and the Hamby's kids played the instruments before the services.....Bro. Hamby decided that it would be a good idea to play our instruments together after the banquet....we had fun, although I kept making a lot of mistakes!We drove back after the close of the conference last night (Sunday evening) and made it in about 10PM. When we woke up this morning (at 5:45 this morning...thank you Silas!!!) we woke up to the ground covered in snow! (Madame Estelle....don't you miss this white stuff???) Until Next time........
