Day 8 Charlotesville, VA - Reston, VA

113 miles

Another day, nice drive through the countryside up to the Reston, Virginia area. We had lunch with the DeWitts at their favorite pizza place. We recounted stories of how we had the empty camera equipment boxes from the bicycle trip mailed out to their DC house from California and how they kept the boxes till the end of Neil’s Coast to Coast trip. We’re so thankful that they were able to help us out. And then how when the camera guy, Jonathan, needed to mail them back to the company, he unfortunately forgot to remove the old address and the boxes were sent FEDEX back to the DeWitts house. It wasn’t funny at the time.

We then drove to Walgreens to pick up my medication, however it wasn’t ready. We’ll get it tomorrow. Next stop was the Stites’s house. Betty next door let us in and gave us a tour. We are so grateful that the Stites are allowing us to stay here. Perfect spot. Perfect location.

We had a 3:30pm Zoom call, that was cancelled or rescheduled. Then a call into Apple to work on syncing my email accounts on both of my devices. Then a 6:15pm Zoom call with the Guatemala field. Not very many people showed up.

Glenn and I made a homemade cheesecake and decorated it like the American Flag - since 4th of July is just around the corner.

For dinner, we enjoyed a very delightful time at Jim and Heidi Hansing, longtime supporters for us. They have prayed for us and they have supported our ministry. And wow, oh, the stories of times we took them to the lake, Antigua, Panajachel, over to the Foot’s house, climbing Pacaya, visiting with Margaret & Josh Perry, doing casita Benjamin, SETECA, Bob Henriques, the dump, the cemetery, boat ride, Nancy dress shop, and Nelly’s souvenir store etc. It was so fun to sit out on the back porch and recall all the precious memories we shared. Glenn even drove the family to Cobán to see other missionaries and go to some beautiful waterfalls.

Yes, One FULL day. Full day of blessing and enjoying God’s faithfulness.Read more
