So I guess we're about a month behind posting this, but still wanted to get it out there.
A few people have asked us how we celebrate Thanksgiving down here and
if Honduras has something similar. No, Honduras does not have anything
similar (it's very much a holiday from our US History). The 2
Thanksgivings we have been in the country we celebrated with a
traditional meal. This year Stacey's mom was able to join us so she and
Stacey prepared Turkey with all the trimmings! It was great to have
our oven to be able to bake the pumpkin pies, corn pudding, and the
15lb. turkey. In addition to Stacey's mom, we invited our neighbor
Argelia who is the closest thing to family and a mother to us here,
Pastor Erick (our local pastor), and our coworker in Community Development Pastor Fredy and his family. We also had Milena, a
Fulbright scholar who is volunteering with our department here for 10
months. We shared with them what our holiday is about and thanked them
for their involvement in our lives. We made 20 plates and still had left overs for a few days!
