Our last full day in Grenada we spent revisiting lots of the week's highlights. Debra and I each got to actually make a return visit to people we had previously had stimulating Bible conversations with. We have managed to purchase a few souvenirs, including four home-made kites to take to share with my young niece and nephew when we get to St. Lucia. They were crafted by a man who uses a power wheelchair following a childhood bicycle accident.
The highlight today was a barbeque at the home of Joann and Craig Clark. A young newlywed couple, he's Bermudan and she's Haitian. Very warm and hospitable and we were honored to be a part of a missionary gathering, some graduates of Gilead, others of the MTS program who later married. A hopefully mutually upbuilding interchange and a lot of laughing going on as we exchanged tips, experiences, and insights on topics from Gilead, to the foreign field ministry, to living collectively in missionary homes. Making new friends was the perfect way to keep our mind off the inevitable: leaving Grenada tomorrow.
We'll be in transit tomorrow, en route to St. Lucia, where we hope to carry off the surprise when we see my brother and his family who don't yet know we'll be there. So bear with us, we'll be back on-line Sunday. See you there!
