Tim said to tell Joel hi today...can't wait! Woke up this morning a little sick to my stomach. I am thinking it was the water at the resort so I switched to my filtered water bottle. After breakfast and some medicine I felt some better.
Today we start home! It has been such a wonderful time and experience but I am ready to be home with my man and kids!
I laid down on the bus on the way to the market and all I could think about was Joel and hugging him! They say absence makes the heart grow fonder - I can't agree more! I know this time has strengthened my love for Joel in ways I could never imagine!
The market was on interesting experience. They are very pushy and hard to bargain with but I feel I got ok deals on everything. It really made me anxious to get home to the kids after I bought their gifts. However, I am really glad that Joel and I are staying in Grand Junction tomorrow night. It will be nice to share my experiences with him before the chaos begins at home!
As I write, we are on the bus to the airport - it is hard to write but I wanted to do some journaling. I am so anxious to be on the plane to the US - the time here has changed me but my heart remains in doing ministry alongside my husband in Bayfield.
We are pulling ino Johannsburg South Africa and I have to say I am very sad to be leaving Taps and Edden. It feels like they are just a part of the team and they should be going to Atlanta with us! I am really going to miss those two!
We arrived at the airport AFTER going back to the Baptist house. Tim had left his pillow there the first night and he was quite comical about getting it back! He had had the pillow for 30 years and had to get used to traveling without it!
Once we were at the airport we checked in and had to go through customs and get our passports stamped and all. Leaving Taps and Edden was hard - most of us were either crying or had tears in our eyes. It is amazing how quickly you become close to people. I do not know if I will see them on this Earth but I KNOW we will worship together in Heaven!!!
