Well, I've celebrated my first Thanksgiving in Spain and it was very nice. Several members of our team gathered in Madrid at the home of Jerry and Peg Schweitzer. We were joined by two teachers from the MK school where Jerry and Peg teach.
We had a traditional American meal. Here's a picture to prove it. We also had pumpkin and pecan pies. And then after dinner we went around the table and shared what we were thankful for. It was good to hear about what God had done in each person's life this year.
I spent the rest of the weekend in Madrid with the Schwietzers. They took me shopping and showed me their school and we went to a Swiss Bazaar and they even showed me a few sights in Madrid that I hadn't seen yet. This is the Cibeles fountain. The Real Madrid fans jump into this fountain when the team wins a championship game.
I had a great Thanksgiving, considering that I was so far from family and friends "at home" and everything familiar. I am part of a great team of people here in Spain and I am very grateful!
