Even though we are out of the country, that doesn’t stop us from celebrating an all-American holiday! We went over to our neighbor’s house for dinner. We prepared all of the food and ate at his house in the evening. We didn’t get a day off from ministry, but we left earlier than normal. I did enjoy getting to eat Thanksgiving food with everyone, but it really made me miss home. Well, at least I can say I celebrated Thanksgiving in Costa Rica!
