as the pilgrim story is unique to the states, there was no national thanksgiving celebration in nicaragua yesterday.
we had a small pekrul celebration inspired by the pilgrims.
in the same way that the pilgrims gave thanks for the blessings that God had given them in the new country, we celebrated the blessings that we have received in nicaragua.
it ended up to be a classic story of burnt beans and undercooked plantains which prompted me to phone luke to ask him to bring take-out on his way home from work. we ended up feasting on take-out gallo pinto, chicken doused in a jalepeno sauce, maduros, and coleslaw. while drinking guayaba juice.
it was special and delicious.
we praise our Father for his graciousness!
come and visit.
