Grateful

Hey guys!!!

i'm not sure when the last time i added a post but it has been way to long...well i'm here in California which i have already told you, but i have lots of things i could talk about but there are just to many stories. so i'll tell you what i am doing right now

well this is the first year that i have not been able to go home for a holiday. so today is thanksgiving and i'm happy where i'm at. it is weird that i am not home but kind of fun at the same time.
i'm at a friends house, her name is letti and she is the best ever for letting me come to her house.
here family is all Hispanic and none of them know English or very little. so letti and her sister are my translators.
so try that one:
live with a family for 5 days not understanding anything.
i love it

her mom is great and working with me to know new words and i'm super excited for my spanish class i'm going to take next semester.
so today we made lots of food, which hasn't been the case all week but that's ok because i need to loose weight.
i've had mostly eggs and tortillas!!! yumm and today we had ribs, turkey, mash potatoes and veggies, and pie: pumpkin and apple.
me and letti made pumpkin for the first time in our lives. we put to much evaporated milk in it but it turned out great. better then what i thought.
so know i'm just chilling. listening but not understanding and smiling because i love these women of God who are in this house.
such a blessing that i'm here. i've done and see things that i'm grateful for God for. and thank him even though i'm not in my comfortable home.
i thank you God for all you have done and giving me a friends like letti and her mother and family.
i'm very grateful
