Mike is driving! We have been blessed with a loaner car for a month to help us get around...Yesterday Mike took to the road (on the other side of the road!) I am really proud of him, no scratches on the car and no pedestrians injured!
We have been warmly received by so many here in Trinidad. Different pastors are driving us around to get a feel of the Island. We need to decide where students are going to live and where we will permanently live (we are in temporary facilities). We have seen a lot of the Island. Today we were on the beach which is closest to Venezuela. On a clear day you can see it from Trinidad.
Today we went to Point Fortin and had lunch with the Pastors. We also got to know the pastors daughter and her husband, Sheldon and Maraneesha Lawrence. They were a blessing. Ashleigh really connected with Maraneesha and I think they will be good friends! They also have a darling three year old daughter named Trinity and if you know Ashleigh...(she loves children!) it was a blessing to spend time with them!
We bought our first umbrella today!!! I think we will need more than one:) When it rains it pours! Now that we have wheels, we are investigating stores...pharmacy, grocery...mall:)
Our Airconditioning hasn't been working in our bedroom for the past few days...not too bad but it got fixed today and so tonights sleeping will be a little more comfortable.
We get up early tomorrow to go to the bank to open an account. We then go to the launch of the Margaret Crandahl Senior Activities Centre. I believe Margaret is the oldest Open Bible American Missionary alive. We look forward to meeting her tomorrow!
We have lots of new details regarding Visas and medical check ups here in Trinidad. If you are following my blog, please pray for the Lord to go before us and work out the details.
Well, it's getting late...Skyped with my kids and grandkids tonight. I read a book to Madison. It was a very special time. What a day we live in...not as good as a real hug, but an amazing way to connect across the miles (and ocean). That's all for now...until next time, that's my take on it!
It's wonderful to be able to (almost) live this adventure with you! Hope you and Mike are getting a little more rest now that you're there. Gotta laugh when I think of him driving and you gripping the door handle or pressing your foot through the floorboard...at least that is what I would be doing if Jack was driving! Love you!
