Thanksgiving is a holiday that is not widely celebrated here in Brazil... Considering the reason why we celebrate Thanksgiving in the first place(our history); this makes since. That doesn't mean I didn't miss it: the family, food, and days off of school. I was given the opportunity to share with many people about our "Day of Graces" which was rewarding in itself! Here are some highlights of my Fourth month in Brazil.

| At school they had a small celebration on Thanksgiving Day. The teachers talked a bit about the history of the holiday and why it is celebrated. Each class led a presentation representing their thanks to God. This class led the school in praise. |
