Thanksgiving Day

Since Costa Ricans don’t celebrate Thanksgiving, this year we spent our day carrying on our usual routine, class in the morning and homework in the afternoon. The IMB missionaries did gather in the late afternoon/evening to celebrate together with a home-cooked meal. After eating way too much (speaking for ourselves), the missionaries had a time of saying goodbye to all of the families who will graduate and leave the language school to go to their fields of service in the next few weeks. It was great to hear about the close friendships they’ve made in this past year and all of the struggles they’ve shared in during language school.
We have so many things to be thankful for as we reflect on this past year: Being appointed with the International Mission Board, Scott graduating from seminary, traveling mercies during our trip to and from Richmond, VA for missionary orientation, and for safety and good health while here in Costa Rica. We hope that you spent this day reflecting on the ways God has blessed your lives this last year.
