Thanksgiving Day in Accra is another work day. The missionaries from the Area Office decided to have a meal together and it was changed to noon so the MTC leaders could attend too. It was thought that there wasn't a kitchen but there is. It has a refrigerator(!), a sideboard, two empty cupboards and a sink with cold water. Two people can be in at the same time. Luckily we never had plans to use it.
Sister Munk and Elder Munk went to great efforts to have the luncheon turn out well. Sister Munk found a chef in a grocery bakery from Palace who ordered the turkeys (turkeys don't live in Ghana or Africa) then cooked them and made gravy! The Munk's both went over to pick them all up on Wednesday and the couples in Temple View apartments kept them all in their refrigerators until Thursday morning. Sister Martinez was gracious and let the Munk's carve up the turkeys at her place. Their hard work paid off big and we had a really awesome meal.
