Thanksgiving Day reminds us all to consciously sit down and contemplate the many things we are truly thankful for. These are just a few on my list…

 

My team!!!!

Claire – she’s a REALLY good team leader; she makes me laugh and she likes to squish me without warning

Gisele – she has so much boldness for God; she keeps me accountable in working out

Amy – she’s so smart and knows the Bible so well; she’s also taught me by example how to be a true friend

Cimone – she’s a great evangelism buddy; she reminds me to be bold in so many ways

Laiken – I love how calm she is one minute and then cracking up laughing the next; she’s an amazing dancer; she cares about the little things, and the big ones – like making sure I finally learn how to make a video

 

Thunderstorms at night

Pastor John – he takes such a lot of time out of his schedule to take great care of us and being his first team here has been such a great experience

Thanksgiving meals: baked oatmeal with yogurt for breakfast and then Nando’s for dinner!!!

Communion together as a team – homemade cookies and water

Mom – because she taught me a lot about cooking and baking when you don’t have all the ingredients and utensils AND JUST CAUSE SHE’S MOM

The rest of my family – because I really miss them right now but they support me being away from home

The location of our ministry this month because we have the opportunity to visit other countries too!

My church – because they care so much about me and support me so well both financially and prayerfully

My backpack because it holds all my belongings right now

The couch I get to sleep on in the living room close to the AC

REALLY great coffee this morning!!! 

All the children we’ve gotten to be with this month have been such a blessing!

Gorgeous sunsets
