10 Days of Thankfulness

For the last day of my 10 Days of Thankfulness, may I first of all wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving! If I could describe Thanksgiving in one word, I would use the word full. Besides all the meaningful reasons this wonderful holiday is celebrated, it is a great day to eat, isn’t it? Itaaa

For Day 9 of my 10 Days of Thankfulness, I would like to express how thankful I am to be in my thirties. I have to say that it’s been my favorite decade of life so far! Why I’m loving my thirties… Obviously, because I moved to Botswana to be a missionary :) Prior toaaa

For Day 8 of my 10 Days of Thankfulness, I want to share about how much I appreciate my time as a single person. Now, I’m not saying that being single is better than being married, nor am I saying that I don’t ever want to get married. I’m just saying that I’m content withaaa

For Day 6 of my 10 Days of Thankfulness, I would like to express my thankfulness for my families. Notice I said families – plural :) First of all, I’m very thankful for my family back home in the good old US of A. I know it wasn’t easy for my parents to hear thataaa

For Day 5 of my 10 Days of Thankfulness, I would be remiss if I did not mention my appreciation for all of my supporters.

For Day 4 of my 10 Days of Thankfulness, I would like to express how thankful I am for the Buckleys. If you’ve been following me since I moved to Africa, you know that I work with Light of the World Ministries which was founded by Matt and Kristin Buckley over 25 years ago. Whenaaa

For Day 3 of my 10 Days of Thankfulness, can I just say that I’m thankful that I feel at home in Africa? Because I do. How does one Filipino American find herself feeling at home in a foreign country she has never been to? I look different. I talk differently. I stand out likeaaa

For Day 2 of my 10 Days of Thankfulness, I want to share about how thankful I am for the people I get to work with, particularly the youth in my church. Most of my missionary work resolves around working with these youth. I plan and facilitate weekly youth services. I organize youth events. Iaaa

We are 10 days away from Thanksgiving and I thought I’d share about 10 things I’m thankful for – in particular, about my life so far as a missionary. I think that everyone possesses the ability to live a rich and full life, but it’s a choice. Someone being “rich” doesn’t necessarily mean being financiallyaaa
