Happy Thankgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to our American friends and family! We had a very fun experience today. We had been invited by Tanya's sister, Samantha, to attend a Thanksgiving celebration at her son's (Leonardo) school. (Thanksgiving is not celebrated here in Mexico as a holiday, but our church had a day of Thanksgiving last Sunday.) Half of Leonardo's school day is in English and they had prepared a program about the pilgrims in English. It was very well done and we enjoyed it. Afterwards we had a lunch which included turkey. It was a very special way to spend part of the day.

Another exciting part of today was hearing from Tanya and her family how thankful they were to have been at the Bible Study last night and that they want to come to our church. I have been overwhelmed with thankfulness to the Lord for His working in their lives. I kept thinking today about how God's timing is so perfect and that I have no doubt that we were here for such a time as this. Our connecting with their family and planting some seeds about His love for them is all part of God's plan for us while we are here. I feel so blessed to have been a part of it and am so thankful that we were faithful to His call. There is so much joy in serving!

Have a good evening,

Sandy
