After a restful night, got off to an early start...
Had some downtime in the morning and got to revisit my Co-workers from the summer and then Afghani friends to pick up mail. It was refreshing to also meet up with APU and Kansai Guidai friends before leaving--I missed them a lot. I am so thankful that they got to come and study at ODU and for our time spent together. I can not believe how brief it was, as it was Thursday and parking would most likely be patrolled. The best spot had a limit on 1 hour parking time slots.
After parting again...
Praise God, got to hear from one of the dear friends from FISH who has been serving with our Global Student Friendship team to Internationals for Jesus. Got to have yummy tea together and talk as well as share about this trip (I am sure you are familiar with how much I can talk... ). She was very kind and listened tentatively to my story, as well as shared part of hers. So thankful :)!!
Next Stop...
Those whom I call my dear Indonesian Family or Second family. I got to see Ehoni, Big brother, and the boys!! I missed them so much! But it was a joy to be reunited and see how every one was, the boys are getting so big now! (Twin babies :)) ). Their friendship and family have been such an encouragement over the past year and through very difficult times have reminded me that God's got it. We got to pray together!!! I am so proud the boys are memorizing scripture and speaking boldly of Christ with his joy!
Second to last stop...
Chick-Fil-A time!! Life group!! The awesome groups in which we live life together!! Well not literally, but we share and challenge/encourage one another. It was so nice to see all who could come. But those who could not come were missed. I came late (surprise surprise.. ?? ), I really need to learn to be on time. But... got to hang out for a bit then left with Faith.
Now it gets interesting...
We picked up a guitar that I let a friend borrow. And headed to Suffolk, where I would stay with her for the night. We drove around and upon getting only a little bit lost near the Tortilla West restaurant, we were headed the loop (avoiding tolls) to get to Suffolk. Guess what.... we began to wonder why the roads where so bumpy...
Flat tire!! Again, the same--back drivers-seat back tire. Wow! Can you believe it. Thankfully Faith was in the car with me and she was wise and calm to tell me to find a well lit place, I was about to just pull over anywhere. We found a shopping center and...
