What do a Deer, a Cow, a Pig, and a Turkey have in common?

Answer: They were all served and eaten at Thanksgiving dinner. Yum.
Hilary posting, FYI.

Our trip home was eventful, but tons of fun. We got to spend a lot of time with a lot of different family members, and really enjoyed ourselves. It's a bit sad that we won't make it home for Christmas, but at the same time it will be nice to make our own tradition for once.

Tonight Dan and I went to the youth group we volunteer at. Well, I went, and Dan was going to go, but on the way there (of course it happened on the night we were already running late) we got pulled over because our taillight was out. So Dan dropped us off, went to Olean to get a new light bulb, and Tom is fixing it right now. This is important because we were given 24 hours to fix it and confirm that it got fixed or else we get a ticket. Stupid New York. Oh well.

Anyway, at youth group tonight they had the kids play this stupid game where they had a glass of water, and they had to take a sip, and then they added steak sauce to the water, and they had to take another sip, and then ketchup... etc etc etc. Anyway, the point of the game was to see who could drink the most gross ingredients. It seems like every other game they play at this group is a game which the goal is to make people puke. It kinda weirds me out. I don't actually like working with this youth group very much... but God must have a reason for wanting us there. Either that or we committed too early and are stuck now. One or the other. Either way, I am committed to learning as much as I can from the experience, even if it is just a whole pile of here's what NOT to do.

Anyway, not much else is new for now. Talk to you all later.

Love,
Hilary

  1. Ugh. Sounds like God may have sent you guys there to save those kids from such horrible games.

  2. wow. We also had all those animals for thanksgiving dinner, minus the cow.

    As for the steak sauce in the water...gross. But didn't Charlie (can't think of his last name) put like and entire meal in a blender and then have a kid drink it at camp one time? Or was that something else entirely??

    Boo for not coming home for Christmas. I miss you, but understand.
