Yesterday was the first Thanksgiving I have ever spent away from family. That being said, it was nothing to exciting. I didn’t really feel like I was missing out on anything because I know that I will be there in just 2 short weeks, plus it is a whole lot warmer here! I had a very uneventful week at Rancho Ebenezer and came back yesterday so I could spend a little more time here in Leon with my family. I also got the chance to Skype with my family after they finished turkey dinner. The plans for the weekend are to work on my final projects and papers, and maybe head to the beach.
Since it was Thanksgiving yesterday, here are a few things I am grateful for:
- My family and friends that I get to see soon!
- The wonderful family I have here
- My awesome classmates who have been there to share all the crazy experiences
- Skype, so I can talk to people all over the world
- Life, and the long life that my great-grandmother had
- The amazing chance I have had to spend over 3 months in Nicaragua
- Music to listen to at night and whenever I need some me time
- Animals and the chance to learn about them no matter where I go
- My Spanish improving so I can have actual conversations with my host family
- An education that will hopefully leave me prepared for a job in May
- Most of all, a God who forgives our sins and loves us no matter what
