Thanksgiving comes to Kentrzyn, Poland

This is an email that we received from the teachers of the English School meeting in the Baptist Church in Ketrzyn, Poland. This is in response to the evening we spent there sharing about what we are thankful for during the American thanksgiving season. We shared a thanksgiving dinner with them including two large turkeys! Some of you sent American food to make this party complete, thank you very much again. Here is a segment copied directly from the email...

Literally all of the people were very touched by the fact that, quote: "the Americans" came. Most of our students were pleased with the opportunity to speak English with or at least listen to the native speaker. Students noticed and greatly appreciated that You mingled in the crowd and spoke with them. They loved the pilgrims story and the sharing Sean did during that night. When I came to the class after the Thanksgiving they asked me for the history of the printed thanksgiving day , which we were to distribute. The most memorable dish was the gravy. All the students ask for the recipe for such delicious gravy. Well, what do you think. Is there any polish equivalent for the gravy-mix you added to the sauce? Second best was the turkey, which we are pleased about. :o) and the yams with marshmallows. Third was either cranberry causes and the casserole or the pumpkin pies. The candies you left we shared on the classes and people were so excited!

Here are some comments.

"I was amazed by the whole atmosphere, warmth, kindness. Those people (the Americans) were so nice and so kind. The food was great. I just loved the turkey and the gravy!!!!!"

"That cranberry jelly sauce was the most incredible thing I have ever eaten in my entire life. Frankly we hardly ever had such feasts at home. I liked everything; the people, the food."

"I was so afraid that I will not be able to speak at all and I did very well but I was all sweat" (a woman from the very beginners group)

"I enjoyed the atmosphere, those people (that means You) were so calm and peaceful. I liked what the man (Sean) shared about God and being thankful. I appreciate that the thanksgiving story was presented to us by the natives. It was extra special and it was so different from what I heard at school."

"Great food, great party, I enjoyed everything a lot!"
