Happy Thanksgiving!

"in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." - 1 Thessalonians 5:18

Happy Thanksgiving! I realize that I have done a terrible job of keeping in touch. This past couple of weeks have been very hectic as I have been winding down the school year. We finished on Wednesday, with the graduation of two of our students, Nilsy and Oscar. I am very proud of them! The ceremony went very smoothly, thanks to the help of many of my teachers who were very hands-on in getting everything ready. I feel like the semester went well. I am very ready for a break, but am looking forward to starting the spring semester again in January.

I decided that for Thanksgiving today, I needed a quiet day at home, so that's what I did. I was invited to the House of Timothy for lunch, where I had a wonderful typical Honduran lunch with my roommate Corina, my friend Steve, the housemom Margarita, and one of the guys that lives in the house. But don't worry! I still got turkey and all the trimmings when my next door neighbor brought me a HUGE plate of leftovers from her Thanksgiving feast. It made for a wonderful dinner!

Now that school is out, I hope to do more writing, although there will be much less to write about. I might actually get around to doing my September/October newsletter! Yes, I said Sept./Oct. Sad, but true.

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday with family. May we continue to remain thankful, no matter what our circumstances.
