Today we went to Les Saints – a small island off of Guadelope. But I will tell ya’ll more about that tomorrow because I’m so tired!!
But I will tell you another GREAT story…..
This past Wednesday Mr. Anderson and my Dad shipped us a PRIME RIB and some hamburger meat. We were ecstatic. Well – our other DHL packages that we have received got here in three days – so we figured it would get here Friday afternoon. So I called DHL around lunchtime and I couldn’t understand a word they said because of their “dominican accent”. They just do that when they don’t want to be helpful. So I went over to Alexis’ Taxi Service – the people who pick up our packages when they come in to Roseau – so that he could call them for me. Alexis thought it was so funny that I needed him to call DHL because I couldn’t understand them. He called them and asked if he could pick up the package without the slip we get from DHL at the Post Office on campus and if it would be there for sure today. They said they would call us back later (yeah right!). So then I went on campus to tell Justin all this “wonderful” news. So then HE calls DHL and they tell him that the package will be there at 3:00 pm. So then I go BACK to Alexis’ and tell him that Justin called DHL and that it would definitely be there at 3:00. So he said – ok, Ill go pick it up!! I was so relieved! Well about 4:00 pm a driver from Alexis’ calls me and tells me that my package is not there and then puts me on the phone with the DHL guy. He said “Oh, it won’t fly in until 6:00 pm tonight”. So I was like – so can I send someone over there at 6:00 tonight to come get it? He said – No, we close at 4:00 pm!! Well – of course!! This is the point when I have a breakdown. I called my Dad and told him everything. Of course he tries to tell me everything is alright and then says a short prayer. Now keep in mind that they shipped frozen meat with a lot of freezer thingies in it and it left Wednesday and it was now Friday. So if I didn’t get it that afternoon then it would sit in the un air-conditioned airport and probably not make it!!! So after I get off the phone with Dad the driver calls me and tells me the DHL guy was going to let him pick it up on Saturday morning. THIS WAS TRULY A MIRACLE!!!! So it was here for us when we arrived back home tonight!
Above is a picture of the Prime Rib and of Justin cutting it. We haven’t gotten to eat it yet because we got in too late. But we cut it into smaller pieces and froze them so that we can eat it on different nights. We can’t wait!!!
