A little taste of home...

So I was little sad that I was missing July 4th festivities back in the States but I had decided to just suck it up and be ok with it. My friends Sydney and Becca (two of the other lovely interns here) and I were invited to go out to eat with two other Peruvians (Oscar and Ludwig who are super nice and super fun) to go eat pizza. So we went to New York Pizza for a quick bite to eat. Much to our surprise, we arrived to the pizza restaurant and there were red, white and blue balloons hanging from the ceiling with streamers. When we walked in, the owner of the restaurant said to me and my friends, "Happy Holiday to you!" When we got our pizza, our plates had red, white, and blue stars on them! I know that these decorations might seem like a minor detail, however, it definitely made me feel like I wasn't so far from home. I am so glad that we went to that restaurant and got to celebrate our holiday here. It was kind of neat b/c I was feeling a little home sick but I just feel like God really provided some good encouragement through those decorations. Praise God for his constant provision.
