Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving was celebrated here in Bolivia today with lots of people I love!

The gringos of Casa de Amor (and the 3-year-old tag-along shown here,) celebrated with a big ol Thanksgiving lunch together. We then spent most of the rest of the day with about 35 midget-sized blessings in my life!

We can't have a Thanksgiving without making turkeys out of handprints!

Blue turkeys are my favorite, too.

 Spreading the love of Thanksgiving food - pumpkin cookies all around.

This evening, Alison and I got to skype with our family at home. I am very, very thankful for how easy it is to be able to talk with and see their faces from Tennessee. It was especially wonderful having Al here today. Tonight Alison and one of my good friends Lauren, visiting from Santa Cruz, went to the movies to end the day.

Just a glimpse of what I'm thankful for here:

"Estén siempre gozosos, oren sin cesar, den gracias a Dios en toda situación, porque esta es su voluntad para ustedes en Cristo."
 1 Tesalonicenses 5:16-18
