Happy Thanksgiving!! This was my first Thanksgiving away from my family and so I really didn’t expect to eat well. I also expected to be a slight bit lonesome, but as these pictures will show you I was neither friendless or foodless over Thanksgiving.
These are the friends I got to share my thanksgiving meal with. The Parents at the school provided a huge Thanksgiving meal for everyone, almost 300 people, and the food was amazing!
This was the massive amount of food the parents provided for the teachers. What a great way to celebrate an American holiday in Guatemala. I also had a large dinner on Thursday over at my friend’s house. Both times I left thinking that I never needed to eat again. That’s a Feast.
And finally this was how I spent my Thanksgiving day. I hiked up La Muela (The Muller) with some friends. It was a beautiful hike and I had a great time. Thanksgiving to me is about friends, family and food. I usually spend my Thanksgiving eating and eating and watching football and eating some more. All done with and around my family. This year I didn’t have the opportunity to be around my family, but as you guys can see I was blessed with a few friends to spend my Thanksgiving break with, and sometimes friends are as good as a family. I want to close with a question. What is Thanksgiving to you?
Adventure With Brendan 
A time to slow down and think and pray–and eat. Ours was very quiet and small but rich. This was the last one without a grandbaby. What fun next year will be with a new life to be thankful for.
Brens, Thanksgiving was great this year, but you were very missed!I also thought about how much God has blessed us with over the last year and I am truly thankful that He is in control of our lives. I am glad that you had a great Turkey day and that you still had a feast!
