Thanksgiving in Nicaragua

Last Thursday was Thanksgiving day! Although it is not a holiday in Nicaragua and most Nicaraguans are worked on Thursday and Friday, our school celebrates Thanksgiving and we get two days off.

Wednesday was our Thanksgiving Program at NCA. Each class gave a presentation, and Caleb's role was to say, "I'm thankful for God's Word, the Bible." As parents, we were worried that he would get stage fright and not say anything, but he did a great job speaking into the microphone in front of hundreds of people! Great job, Caleb!

Thursday evening we had several other missionary families at our house to celebrate Thanksgiving together with them, although turkey was not on the menu because it is so expensive. Rotisseri chicken was the substitute, along with all of your other traditional Thanksgiving foods.

We already had shared a real turkey dinner last Sunday night at International Christian Fellowship with many other missionary families. The church was full and the pot luck buffet line was long, but most of all, we had a lot to be thankful for!
