In June, we had the pleasure of having Bob, Kelly, Rebekah, and Anna Mae Lee come to visit. We had looked forward to this trip for so long and it meant so much to each member of our family. All of us had alot of fun planning out what kinds of things we wanted to show them and do when they were here, etc.
Although they were delayed by a day and a half due to some storms in Miami, we had a fantastic time. Now, looking back, I can't believe all that we crowded into those five days!!
They saw our school, some of downtown San Jose, we took a bus--that's always a cultural experience!! (This time it was very crowded and we had to stand up alot of the way!) We walked around in the central market where all the interesting meat salesmen are (among many other things!), and then we were off to Manuel Antonio beach where Rebekah and Anna Mae got to swim in the Pacific Ocean for the first time. Arriving at the place we stayed in the afternoon, we were just in time to see some monkeys playing in the trees nearby. On Saturday, we came back in time for both families to do some ministry in Cristo Rey (minus Carmen, Anna, who needed naps, and me--okay, maybe I took a nap, too!). Afterwards, just the adults were able to go out Saturday night for dinner. On Sunday, we took them to church with us, and then it was time for them to leave for the airport.
As I said over and over, it was a ministry, a blessing, to us--that they came and wanted to see what we were up to here and experience the life we live, that we had a great reason to go to the beach, that we were with great friends from SC! We got to catch up, hear all the latest news from home and from their lives, and we created some special memories with our families. Bob, Kelly, girls, we had an awesome time! Thank you!
