I'm feeling short on words but so full of gratitude. Today was another beautiful day in GZ. This whole trip has been such a marvelous display of God's power and might, His mercy and blessing. My heart is so full!
Rebecca called and said that she heard from the consulate that they would have the visas ready for pickup this afternoon!! After hearing the good news, we took Riley and the babies up to the pool for one last swim. We ran into two other families excited about the news, as well. One of the families there, Paul and Candace and their children, are from GA. Paul was kind enough to ride Riley around the pool on his back and even saved the life of Wyatt, who made an unexpected headfirst dive from one step to another while we were standing there talking. We're going to need to teach Wyatt and Jubilee to swim pretty quick. They both love the water.
Melissa and I make a quick trip out to Shamian Island for a grilled cheese sandwich and apple pie ala mode, with a side of shopping. She was gracious enough to help me schlep my bags of goodies for the kiddos back home across the island and to the Victory Hotel, where we caught a cab. We ended up having to go into the Victory and ask them to call a cab for us, and they were kind enough to do that for us, even though we weren't guests.
I arrived back to our room to the beautiful site of two complete visa packets and passports containing visas for Wyatt and Jubilee.
It looks like we will be able to make our flight home tomorrow morning!! We are so excited!!
We met friends from Fayetteville, the Pruiksmas, in the lobby at 7:00 to grab a bite to eat out on our last night in GZ. We ate at Tekila's and enjoyed the food and company as much as we did the last time.
Only one more sleep in GZ!! The next time I write it will be from the good ole US of A!!
