Hello my friends around the world! We are here in the Philippines not celebrating American Thanksgiving, but we are thinking of our family and friends who soon will be. I truly feel content and I am thankful that my homesickness is gone.
One great blessing was that yesterday, just in time for American Thanksgiving, we received a HUGE package from the U.S.!! It was from a class of precious 3rd graders in my hometown, who pray for us daily. How sweet! They included all the tastes of the U.S. that I miss:
--Life Cereal (cinnamon AND original)
--Wheat Thins (original)
--Little Debbie Swiss Cake Rolls
--Those little pumpkins you get at Halloween (sweet candy!)
--Many other great treats and nice school supplies we can use.
I was very excited for this package, and NAte and I continue to enjoy it and share it with others. When I first started eating I went a little crazy trying some tastes of everything, but now I am holding back and trying to make the gifts last!
We are thankful for that package and for the 3rd graders who sent it from Omaha! We are thankful for their prayers and for the prayers of many.
Tonight we will eat pizza and then Nate will go to a class while I grocery shop. The good news is that someone new in the community has invited us over on Saturday for traditional turkey and mashed potatoes! That was a surprise invitation, but I would not miss it! Yum!
We love you, Lord! And we love our family and friends!
