This thanksgiving is going to go on the records as being one of the best. We were invited by our good friends the Fanoga’s to join them at the church for a sort of “misfits” thanksgiving. Ya see, brother Fanoga is one of the coaches for the NMSU football team and he had a lot of boy’s from Hawaii who didn’t have anywhere to go for thanksgiving so we had a potluck/party at the Idaho chapel. After we all feasted on turkey and ham and the whole nine yards, we all went into the gym for a “friendly” game of volleyball. FRIENDLY my arse! I don’t know if any of you have ever been in a room full of Polynesians that are “playing”. If you have you know why I keep “”’ing everything. If you haven’t, I’ll just say that it’s the funniest/scariest thing that you will ever experience. I have never seen so much energy in one room in my entire life, it was great and this was AFTER everyone had already eaten a huge meal. So after hours and hours of playing and laughing and eating and playing and laughing and eating, it was time to go home. I’m not sure if a lot of you know this but it is a Polynesian custom to hug and kiss everyone on the cheek when it is time to part so I’ll just say that I got my fair share of bear hugs and kisses from these amazing kids. What a wonderful time, for as long as I live I will never forget the thanksgiving that I spent with the NMSU football players!
