♫ C'mon Ring Those Bells... ♪

Hi everyone,

Sorry if I didn't get to see you for a Thanksgiving get-together with friends from International Christian Fellowship or Church in the Center (see pics below; actually there were a lot more people than the bottom picture conveys).

I wanted to let you know about an upcoming Christmas event with my friends at Rice Temple Baptist Church - 6409 Greenbriar, Houston, TX 77030.  Actually, the kids' recital is today at 6PM, but I take it that's a little late notice for y'all.

On Tuesday, December 13th, at 11AM, there will be the annual Christmas Handbell Program/Recital with friends from Japan, China, Korea, America, and other countries represented.  Afterward at 12PM, we'll all have potluck lunch together at Mary's house across the street (don't worry if you can't bring a dish).  It's a great opportunity to meet friends from other countries and practice English.  

I really hope you can make it and we can see you there - or else you have a really good excuse why you can't!  :)

Grace and peace,

Daniel

P.S. Actually, it turns out the SMILE program at South Main Baptist is having their Christmas ESL program at the same time, so if you're already planning on going there instead I guess that qualifies as a valid excuse!

P.P.S. If you're looking for a nice neighborhood to see Christmas lights, you might try Pecan Grove in Richmond, Texas (just south of Sugar Land).  Christmas light winners 2010 in Pecan Grove

International Student Thanksgiving Dinner

I know I shared this on Facebook, but for those of you at large in the Houston area who are wanting to participate in an American Thanksgiving at a friend's house (with a bunch of international students from the University of Houston), contact me and I can tell you the location and we can go together!  It's a huge house. 

You don't have to be a student - after all, I'm not a student.  But I do get hungry.  Especially for sweet potatoes with marshmallows.  (*For any Japanese new to Houston who might be shy in coming, my friend Shintaro and his wife will be around to help you out).
