Hola amigos y familia!
Well, I'm excited to say that.....IT'S Thanksgiving BREAK!!!! I think I'm more excited than my students! We have the entire week off because the mission organization in charge of the school (CAM) has their annual conference for missionaries to Mexico and all the missionaries have to attend, which includes most of the teachers at the school, so we get the week off. Just in case you are wondering, Mexicans do not have a Thanksgiving holiday. However, this week the Mexican schools got 2 days off for Revolution Day. I had a great week. Nothing really big happened, but God was faithful. I have been attending a ladies Bible study and it has really blessed my heart. I am the youngest lady there. The study is in English and it is mainly missionary wives in Puebla. I'm learning so much from the older women there! This week the Lord just really made me especially grateful for my parents. They brought me up in a Christian home and gave me so much love and support. They have had such a strong positive influence in my life. Thank you mom and dad for teaching me to love God and to do what He wants!! Thank you! I love you and miss you!
Well, tomorrow after church, the Hudsons, the Nevins (the other family with EBM) and I are going on a little retreat. We will spend 2 nights away in a place about an hour from here. It will be a nice time of rest and relaxation. Then on Thursday, I'll be celebrating Thanksgiving with them. It will be strange not to be with my family, but God has provided a nice substitute for me! I will miss getting together at Aunt Sharon's! I'll definitely be thinking of you all.
Guess what??? 4 weeks from right now, I'll be getting into the Columbus International Airport, anxiously waiting to see my precious family and 4 Sundays from tomorrow, I'll be with my church family. What a blessing it will be to see you all! My heart is full of gratitude to all those who gave for me to be here and for those who prayed consistently for me! You all mean so much to me! I'm so blessed to have grown up with you people from LBT!! Thanks so much! Well, have a WONDERFUL time of THANKSGIVING this week! You'll be in my thoughts and prayers! Love, Angelina
