Trick or Treat!

On Friday we celebrated Halloween with our Turkish friends! We told people to dress up and we also some goodies from the States like candy corn and the like.  There were 26 of us in the house and we had a great time just talking about life, playing games eating candy corn and roasting smore's!










About the costumes: Well as it turned out the only people in costumes were the foreigners... which included our entire team, another american with another organization here and Dave and Ros's children!  Our friends thought we were crazy but they had fun trying on parts of our costumes!











About the food: We had candy corn which our boss brought as a surprise for us.  At first they weren't so sure if they liked it because it wasn't hard candy but it wasn't jelly-like... but in the end almost all of them decided they LOVED it!  We also roasted smore's... In the guys' apartment there is a fireplace.  Our first thought was to use that and roast them, however it seems the chimney isn't open.  So after almost smoking ourselves out of the building we roasted marshmallows over the stove! The turks also LOVED the smores...

We're looking forward to more socials with our friends both fun and spiritual in content. Praise God for Friday night and a time where students saw that things can be fun without partying or having much planned!
