Hospitality Check

Last Tuesday morning at 6:00am, Glenn and I drove to GUA airport and picked up Luke Mockler. Luke is here for a wedding in Antigua this weekend. Once he came through custom and immigration, we threw his carry-on luggage in the back of the van and headed straight to Antigua. Since we were leaving town, we drove "against" the traffic.

The drop-off point was the Central Plaza in Antigua. As we drove into the historic town, we turned onto Paul & Ruth Philippi's house. We called them up, they keyed their electric front gate, and we parked on their front yard. The Philippis' were just fixing to sit down and eat breakfast. I love it when people are "spur of the moment" type. We joined them for baked oatmeal and fresh fruit. And of course we had to listen to Paul's jokes. "If it wasn't true, it should have been!"

We dropped off Luke at the Hostel where his brother Nathan was staying. As we were driving to the Kendal's house, I noticed a pick-up truck with poinsettas. We purchased several. Gave one to Forrest and Carol, another one to Philippis and the last one to the Footes.



The Footes are new missionary couple, attending language school in Antigua. Paul and Ruth drove with us about 10 min. outside of the city to find the Footes new house that they are renting. We enjoyed our short visit with them.



We hadn't actually planned our day out like this, but we felt it was encouraging for the Philippis, Kendals and Footes and even our visitors, Nathan and Luke. We never know how each day turns out, but this was a sucessfull day.
