It's amazing what one month can do! We had our team celebration on the 18th and my roommate, Katherine, and I got to host. It was a great party. I was mostly past the uncomfortable new kid phase of moving and started feeling like a part of the family. God blessed our celebration to me because He showed me that He was giving me a family here in Bulgaria. It was fun to see the excitement on the faces of my new friends when they opened their Secret Santa gifts and to share in a time of singing and reflecting on Jesus' coming to "make His blessings known far as the curse is found."
I'll be honest, Thanksgiving this year was very hard. I missed my family, my friends, my familiar surroundings, and Arlo Guthrie's "Alice's Restaurant." I also did not know my teammates very well. I was feeling isolated, lonely, and like I'd never really know anyone on my team (even though I knew that friendships just take time).
