Hey all! So I am sitting here in Arkansas looking out the window while drinking coffee. Right now I am enjoying air conditioners, grass, no sounds of calling of prayer, washing clothes in a huge washing machine that only takes 20 miutes, clean air and being able to drink water from the faucet. Wow and these are just a few.
I assumed that when I would come back to the states I would eat out all the time and shop like crazy. Well it is weird because I'm not. Now don't get me wrong I am shopping a little and eating out some but not like I thought. All of those cravings for shopping and yummy foods aren't so important now that I am actually here. Maybe the Lord is trying to teach me something. The other day when I went to wal-mart, I was overwellmed by the choices to make. There were soooo many choices... of everything. Amazing and things are only a fraction of the cost. Anyways enough of that.
Okay I have been dealing with this cold ever since I got on the plane in Senegal. WIll it ever go away!!!!!!
So we lost abby's shoes in the airport and one of Luke's broke. Not too bad since that is the extent of our drama of our 28 hours of flying and waiting in airports.
Last Sunday we went to Greenbrier Church. It was an awesome church. The service went well.... well except for the drama that took place about 5 minutes before church started. Okay so this is what happened.
Ofcourse Abby had to use the bathroom. This is what she always has to do when we go somewhere new. So i took her and everything was fine until I went to squirt soap in her hands and instead of it going in her hands it went straight in her eye... and the screaming began.... wow can that girl scream! Anyways so after I got her to calm down a little a nurse came and we took her into the church kitchen. It took 3 of us to hold her down to finish getting the soap out. O-man you could't even see her eyeball. When we opened her eye there was soooo much soap. I guess I would be screaming too. The nurse washed her eye out and she was fine. Of course I was so shaken up and I cried too. Not much though. But it was right before I was suppose to speak. We both recovered and the service went well.
Okay so I better make a list of what I need to get to take back with us. For some reason I can't remember. HA! After all those months of doing with out I can't remember what it was I was missing! God is good!
Please contine to pray for us as we are traviling alot this summer. Pray that we sell our car back in Senegal and raise enough funds to buy another in Rwanda.
Okay more later. I love all yall and remember... diesel cars get awesome fuel milage. We get 46 miles on the gallon!!! Wahoo :)
