Happy Thanksgiving from Costa Rica

Our missionary students are so blessed when they are able to celebrate an American holiday while living here in CINCEL. It is important as well for their children. Although we live in another country, it is important to carry on American traditions so that the children grow up knowing and loving two cultures.
So many of the little ones said thank you to Denny and me yesterday. They have made lots of sacrifices on behalf of their parents. You forget as an adult sometimes how very difficult it is for the children. They miss what they used to experience with cousins and grandparents and it is especially difficult on holidays.
So we had a feast!! How better to compensate homesickness than with food! We found turkeys, very expensive turkeys! Each family brought the dishes to pass and oh my! terrific! The Costa Rican staff thoroughly enjoyed their American cuisine!
