Thanksgiving week, Max and Kayla were here to visit, but we, of course, had to make time for our annual thanksgiving feast (annual—started by David and Sarah, I believe?). We invited the school director’s family over and our original host family to our dinner. We ended up eating our meal on a Tuesday, due to some of our travel plans, but there was lots of delicious food to eat and lots to be thankful for. We went around the table and each said something we were thankful for, here is a short list of what was said:
Estoy agredecido por…I am thankful for…
- Peace in the country and peaceful elections for Nicaragua.
- Community
- Family and friends
- Health
- God and his love
- Solidarity of volunteers and sharing culture with other people.
- The opportunity to work in the San Nicolas community.
- A community that is open and caring.
- Great English teachers (they were talking about us! ha! A+ for them!)
- The end of a successful school year and the ability to receive free university education.
- For each person around this table.
- The ability to travel and to learn new things.
- For this delicious food.
Our 14 lb. turkey baked to perfection!
The stuffing ready to go into the oven. Other menu items: Mashed potatoes and gravy, green bean casserole, crescent rolls, pumpkin and apple pie. YUM!
Thankful for these people! :) Our school director (Idalia) is in the blue sweater on the left and our original “host mom” when we first moved here is in the black sweater sitting by Kyle. Her name is dona Ines and she is a great cook! I hope our food lived up the her expectations :)
So much to be thankful for! The director’s daughters joined us, as well as some of dona ines’ grandkids!
Love.
