"Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, 'The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!'" - Rev. 11:15
Today was a really fun day for me. I had to lie to one of my teachers, but it was for a good cause. I told her I had to go to the airport to pick up a prospective missionary couple that was coming for a visit, but I didn't want to go alone. So she came along. I used the names and descriptions of my former Shepherd Group leaders in the States. As we stood at the exit to immigration, looking for this couple I had never met, I was filled with excitement and anticipation. As the couple came around the glass barrier, I pulled out my camera. When she saw them, she gasped in amazement and broke into tears. The couple was not the promised missionary couple, but rather her parents. They decided to surprise her for Christmas. I had known of their visit since sometime in October. Seeing her response made the trip well worth it. I was blessed to be a part of her surprise.
We spent the rest of the afternoon getting lunch and getting groceries. Obviously, she hadn't planned on guests for the week. With holiday traffic, it took longer than expected, so we did not return to the ranch until evening. We were pleasantly surprised, however, that the electric company had come and restored power that afternoon. We have been without since Thursday.
Overall, it was a wonderful, but tiring day.
