On Wednesday evening I got a message
from Ruth asking if they could stay the night at our house on Friday
evening. Of course, I jumped at the
opportunity to see them. The last time
they were in the area were not able to connect and then Covid-19 hit, and we
missed out on seeing them altogether.
After making sure they were okay with
seeing other people I invited Chris & Sarah and German and Mariah over for
dinner on Friday evening so they could see them too. Matthew cooked a delicious meal and Mariah brought
Empanadas so we could have our Argentine fix.
We had so much fun visiting and catching up with them.
Since the original plan was for them
to only stay one night, I invited Michelle over on Saturday morning (before she
had to do Halloween activities with the kids).
I haven’t seen her in forever myself, so I had just as much fun catching
up with her as Scott and Ruth did, I think.
Afterwards, Ruth and I decided to go
for a walk. We walked a couple miles on
the Maple Valley trail… and talked. It
reminded me of the days in Catamarca when she mentored me… it was a much-needed
time of fellowship for me.
I was very happy when the asked to
stay another night… (The house they were going to stay at had a possible Covid-19
exposure and we only lived 30 minutes from the church anyways). So, I had an evening to visit with Scott and
Ruth just to myself… of course I helped Scott out with some computer issues
(some things never change… I don’t know how many times I did this when we lived
in Argentina together). I would have to
say one of my favorite moments together was praying on Saturday night before we
went to bed.
Once again, their plans on Sunday
ended up changing so they decided to hang out with us again… this time at
German and Mariah’s house. German
prepared an Argentine asado and we ended up having a complete Argentine meal…
desert and all. We enjoyed the Seahawks
game and fellowship. I spent many games
at the Millar’s house in Argentina since that was the only place I could find
the game on TV.
It was the perfect weekend… God has blessed
me with two amazing weekends in a row.
My weekdays may be busy… and the weekends may be full… but they have been
so good and just what I needed.
