I began the day with sleeping in a bit (a rare treat!) and then spending great time with the Lord. I also enjoyed chatting with my brother on Skype, talking to my parents on the phone, and watching part of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade on the computer. (Yay for technology, right?!) The parade brought back fun memories of when my family and I watched it together in person in New York two years ago (one of my childhood dreams), but it was definitely much warmer watching it on the computer this year! I also went for a run this morning and wore one of my favorite Edgewood Turkey Trot shirts (the Life is Good one). :) As I ran around town though, I did find the situation a little odd...to me the day was a special, festive holiday but to all the other people on the street, it was just a normal day.
After getting ready for the day, it was off to Zacatecas to celebrate with lots of other American missionaries from around our part of Mexico. This has been a Thanksgiving tradition for CFCIers for many years, and I enjoyed taking part in it for my second time. The feast is fabulous, of course, and it is also a wonderful time of fellowship. As I looked around the room today, it was neat to see all the different churches and missions represented throughout Zacatecas, Fresnillo, Jerez, and San Luis Potosi. Here are a few pictures from the day...
