Justin is speaking this Sunday!! But he still doesn’t know what hes going to talk about! Please pray that God will show Justin what He wants him to speak on and that He will prepare Justin for it.
Above are some pictures of my time at home. I had so much fun!!! The first day I was in Ft Smith mom surprised me with a trip to the spa for a massage!! It was great. We were in Wal-Mart a lot (mainly printing pictures). And we went out to eat at some great places of course but my favorite meal was at home when my dad fixed steak and homemade mashed potatoes!! I got to see a lot of family and was so thankful for that. Thankful to mom for clearing out her whole schedule for two weeks to spend every minute with me! I learned how to play tennis – it’s a workout! One night just mom, dad, Robbie, and I played doubles. It was so fun! Mom and Robbie won unfortunately. But they had an unfair advantage – I wasn’t on their team! We went to Oklahoma City for a couple of days to see Robbie and Jessica and to eat at the Melting Pot – my new favorite place! Then we drove over to Tulsa to meet everyone for Grannys surprise birthday lunch! She thought she was eating lunch with only Aunt Patti, Mollie, and John. But when she walked in there were about 16 of us there! She went crazy.
Then the day came to come back to Dominica. I was supposed to leave at 6:00 am on Monday morning. Well Delta called our Dominica house at about 10:00 pm Sunday night to tell us that all my flights were changed because of some weather in Atlanta. So originally I was supposed to go from Ft Smith to Dominica in one day and not have to spend the night in San Juan. But there are no runway lights in Dominica so the last flight out to Dominica leaves at like 4:00 – or 3:00ish. So since my flights left later then I had to spend the night in San Juan on Monday night. Well my cousins wifes family lives in San Juan. So my mom gets the bright idea that I could spend the night with one of them. I just couldn’t hold in my excitement when I heard this from her (please note the sarcasm in my voice).
So Josh works it out to where I was able to stay with Raquels (his wife) aunt and grandma. Josh called and told me that her grandma speaks no English and that his aunt speaks a little but yet she understands it better than she speaks it. So although I was very grateful for the free place to stay – I truthfully wasn’t very excited about being with people that I couldn’t communicate with. So when I get to San Juan, Ivonne (the aunt) picks me up. And she was great! She spoke English pretty well! I think Josh was just trying to scare me.
So I finally get to Dominica – which was an hour late - and only about 5 peoples luggage got there. I was not one of the five people. So we had to wait another 45 minutes for another plane to bring our luggage. Then I rode the windy hour drive to the house and finally got to see Justin and Ellie!! FINALLY!!!
