For the second year in a row, we had the privilege of attending a Thanksgiving dinner with a few missionaries here in our city & some very special guests. Sam, a missionary here with the Baptist church, is a chaplain for the local baseball team. Baseball is a BIG deal here in Venezuela. Every year, the local teams invite members of the minor leagues & major leagues to play during their off seasons on the Venezuelan teams. This keeps their skill up & helps out the Venezuelan teams. Sam & Lisa always invite the American members of the team over a traditional Thanksgiving meal. This year was no exception so we had the chance to meet 2 pitchers & 1 trainer. It was a fabulous day & the boys had a blast. One even went outside & threw the ball with Isaiah & Ian. It was so nice for our boys to have this opportunity. It is definitely a memory they will never forget!
