HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
Today we celebrated Canadian Thanksgiving with the Friesen family. Perry & Lynda Friesen, who live just a few kilometres north of our place, invited our family to share a Thanksgiving meal with us.
Unfortunately Sonia had school tonight and Deena was feeling under the weather, so Lena had to remain behind with her. So Maya & I headed off to catch a bus and made our way to the Friesen residence. We were greeted by the Friesen Five and treated to a wonderful meal of turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, corn, cranberries and, of course, pumpkin pie! What a feast!!! Maya even discovered that she likes pumpkin—go figure!
We are very thankful for the time together—what a wonderful way to celebrate!

COMING TO CANADA
The 6th came and went without news from the Canadian Embassy in Moscow. Hopefully news will come soon—please keep praying!
BLESSINGS
Praise God for co-workers in the local field! I've known Perry & Lynda Friesen, Christian & Missionary Alliance missionaries, since the mid-90s. Being able to share Thanksgiving with them today was very special. We thank God for all our co-labourers in the Gospel.
This past Saturday our church (Living Grace Ministries) honoured me with a (apparently too early!) send-off. I was thanked for my years of service in the camp and youth ministry and given several nice gifts. It was quite a surprise and a wonderful blessing.
We are very thankful to God for our family. Sonia, Maya & Deena all love God and are such a blessing to us!
We praise God for our loving family, giving friends and supportive church fellowships. We have been blessed beyond measure!!!
PETITIONS
Visa news! We would love to have an idea when the visas will be ready, how long Lena & Sonia have until they must leave for Canada and when we can start packing! Please pray that some (any!) news will come soon.
Sonia is still looking for a new job. Please pray that she will soon be able to find a good part-time job.
Please continue to pray for our financial needs. More information about our support is at www.krhamm.com/support.
DID YOU KNOW...
...that hundreds of children from across Russia recently took part in the contest to submit drawings of President Putin? One of the more interesting creations showed Putin sporting his black belt, fighting the four evils of crime, corruption, inflation and drug abuse, against a backdrop of the map of Russia!
