Today’s the day. Today we go to St. Louis and spend the night in preparation for getting on the plane tomorrow for Honduras. We went to our church in Boonville, IN this morning to say goodbye and thanks for all they’ve done. The pastor had us come up front and he read what he had written during the week. We were fighting back the tears and trying to keep our noses from running so much it becomes embarrassing.
After church we went to our Sunday School class and it was the same tears and running noses situation. They even had a cake for us. Unfortunately we were so far behind in what we still had to do before we left they we would only stay for about 15 minutes.
We have only been attending this church since April and have been gone many Sundays as we shared at other churches. The way the people of our church treated us was once again overwhelming. We know it’s an over used word but we don’t know how else to describe how we have felt for the past two months or so with the way people have treated us.
After leaving church Cindy ran some more errands and Brad went back to the apartment to get what was still left moved out. Will it ever end? Another six bags of trash. My gosh! Some good friends, Waleed and Angela, offered to keep our large plastic containers of pictures and our bigger pictures at their house. This was such a blessing because it was getting down to the wire and we still weren’t sure what we were going to do with all these pictures. Someday we may learn to trust God that He might actually know what He’s doing and the time situation.
We then had lunch with our son, our daughter and her husband, our granddaughter, and Ricardo (how did he get in there? – Ricardo is a good friend and we enjoyed having him). After lunch we went to Cindy’s mom’s house to finish packing before our ride to St. Louis arrived.
A little after 3:00 pm our ride arrived. John and Carolyn Anosky along with Stan and Susan Gregory took us to St. Louis. We originally thought we just wanted to make the drive by ourselves because it might be a little tough, but we really enjoyed riding over with them and think it made the drive easier.
They dropped us off at the hotel and headed back to St. Louis and we ate a quick supper at the restaurant, went to our room, and went to bed.
