Every day we walk pass some old and rotten wood homes. I always think what it would it be like to live in one of those houses. They don't have air conditioning. There is no TV. At the boys home they just have broken toys and chips (these toys in a Corn Flakes box). I realize that I have a lot to be thankful for.
First I really need to thank Miss Sylvia. She is the lady who owns the house that we rent an upstairs area. She was very kind and welcoming when we first got here. Next, Shayan, because she would translate for me when my mom wouldn’t. Shayan is a girl at the girls home. I am thankful for Joyner and Kenan because they like to play games with me and other kids at the comedor. Pastor Adrian was very helpful by taking us places in his truck. I’m also thankful for Reyna. She lets me work and maybe she is thankful for me because I help her work and practice English. She teaches me Spanish and I have had a lot of fun working with her often because she lives downstairs and is Miss Sylvia’s daughter.
Now at every Thanksgiving Day I’ll be way more thankful than I ever was. It won't just be a turkey and mashed potatoes with gravy day. I will always look back at our experience here in Bluefields, Nicaragua and thank God for all the things He has given me and the time I could be in Bluefields.
