We took advantage of the opportunity to get together with the Americans in our mission (there is not many of us) and have a\u00a0feast. \u00a0So after class we prepared food, hopped into a taxi and headed over to our field leaders house. \u00a0Although the meal didn’t have all the same foods my family would make, it was still a wonderful time. \u00a0One of the special treats was being able to send the boys out to play, because they live in a house with a FENCED YARD! \u00a0They boys had so much fun running around and exploring. \u00a0We adults enjoyed talking and only listening for a cry of help.<\/p>\n

We headed home at 7 to get the kids to bed as we all had school the next day. \u00a0After the kids were in bed I skyped with all of my family on the same day, also a special treat. \u00a0We have so much to be thankful for!<\/p>\n
