Giving Thanks

Last Saturday, we celebrated Thanksgiving at the Spencer household.

During the day, we hiked up "Elephant Mountain" with our friend Audrey.



From the top we enjoyed a spectacular view of Taipei and a picnic lunch. The huge building you see in the picture is Taipei 101 (second-tallest in the world). Oh, and Kalan and I practiced our "karate kid" moves. :-)



That evening we had dinner at our place with our American friends. Kalan was a cooking machine, creating all sorts of delicious dishes. My favorite was sweet potato casserole topped with marshmallows "toasted" on our frying pan. (We tried using chopsticks to roast them over our stove, but the flame is too intense).

Here's a short clip from dinner:

The past couple weeks we have both been overwhelmed with thankfulness. We are so thankful for our marriage, our families, our friends--new and old, our jobs, our church, and the opportunity to live adventurously.

"Oh come, let us sing to the Lord; let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation! Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise!" (Psalm 95:1).
