Thanksgiving 2009

This is the fourth Thanksgiving that Ricardo and I have been married. We have so much to be thankful for. We have a loving and supportive family, a "job" or work that we love, and we are surrounded by people who love God. We are especially thankful this year, that we were able to spend Thanksgiving in Oaxaca. We had such a wonderful day celebrating an American holiday in Mexico.

We had a traditional meal and evening with the children here at the home. One of the traditions here is to invite people from the community that the children's home is thankful for. Some of the kids' teachers were able to come, along with the lady who cuts the kids hair and some others. Nearly 150 people had dinner here. It was an evening of fellowship and recognition of what the Lord has given us. The Lord has blessed us so much, and we are indeed thankful.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!
