Tulsa – Day 20
On Thursday night we went to a Hispanic Church service and Yakelin met a really sweet Nicaraguan woman. It seemed like food for her soul to worship in her native tongue.
On Friday, Dr. Ellen told us that they will do surgery on Yakelin’s right eye on this Thursday. That news was the start of a great weekend! On Friday night I went to the Casting Crowns concert with the Kolkers. I honestly had no idea that all the guys in that band are youth workers in their Atlanta churches. I was really thankful to have a night of worship in my native tongue too! Thanks for a that blessing, Nancy, and your sweet tenderness!
On Saturday morning, Yakelin spent time with Leda and I spent it the gym. I think spinning followed by “BodyPump” might have been a bit too much…but I loved it! Yakelin returned to the house with tons of Leda’s delicious Gallo Pinto (rice and beans mixed together). After having our fill we went to Goodwill for the half-off sale. Yakelin found some great clothes for her little girls. We ended the beautiful day with a Thanksgiving meal at Pat and Arnie’s house. The whole medical team and their spouses joined us and we give thanks for all God has done in our lives and in Yakelin’s life.
In anticipation of another the snow storm starting tomorrow, and needing a restful few days before surgery, we went to Blockbuster’s and rented a few movies. I had no idea that family movies were only $.99 for a week’s rental and that you can change the language setting on most movies and listen to them in Spanish! Bring on E.T., hot chocolate, and snowman-making!!!
