This next
week is Thanksgiving in the States. Here it is another day to work and go to
school. Terry and I will be celebrating with our Sim family Wednesday.We will
travel to Gonzanama which is about an hour away over some pretty awesome
mountains. I will be sure to take my over the mountains medication.
This morning
Terry was sick so he wasn’t able to go to church service. I was so tempted to
stay home with him. You see I would have to do some things that I normally don’t
do on my own. I would have to go to church on my own. I have ridden the bus on
my own to church but he has always been there to meet me. I would have to sit
in the service by myself, ride the bus home by myself go to the grocery store
after church by myself.
If I had not
gone to church this morning I would have missed some lessons, like don’t stand
in front of the bus door after getting in, don’t put your hand on the rail next
to the door that you shouldn’t be standing next too, ouch, don't be surprised when a sweet little old lady puts her arms around you to keep her balance in a crowded bus. Also, just because it
is a national holiday and no one else is paying bus fare doesn’t mean I won’t
have to. I am sure there would have been more lessons if I had gone on to the
grocery store after church but I chickened out.
Terry and I
want to thank you for your support and prayers. We are thankful for each of
you. Know that we are your hands and feet here in Loja. All of you have a
wonderful time of fellowship with family and friends. Please eat some cranberry
sauce and pumpkin pie for us. The picture above is not the bus I was on today.
