Elizabeth and Javier were away most of the day--their shop is open 7 days a week, and also they went early to the Kingdom Hall. We played a game of Scrabble, watched a movie and just generally vegged out. We are not too eager to explore Santo Domingo because it is 90 degrees out! And incredibly humid. We did take a short walk around the block.
At noon, Judith came and prepared our lunch. We were rather astonished that she had come all the way across town just to fix lunch for us. We were really glad to see her, as we have met her several times before. She is Chris' personal assistant when he comes. She's a very warm-hearted, open person and we really enjoyed seeing her again.
We spent some time on the blog and uploading Vincent's pictures, then Javier and Elizabeth came home for supper. Poor Elizabeth lost her voice, and we couldn't understand what she whispered without Javier repeating everything she said. It would have been okay, but we we're trying to find out when to go to the bus station and which bus to take. It turned out that she had it all organized, and we just needed to follow her (like ducklings their mama) and everything was okay.
It is actually amazing how well cared for we have been on this trip, even the unexpectedly long bus trip here. We feel like we must be on the right path, because at each step, the missing pieces have fallen into place. We are hoping to find out tomorrow if the buyer's inspection of the house on Friday went well. So exciting to think that after 11 months on and off the market, it might be sold! But sobering, too, as we have to figure out what to do next--where to live and so forth. We're returning home April 19th and need to be moved out by May 1. It's do-able but daunting. Tomorrow we'll be on the coast of Ecuador near a town named Manta. We never would have dreamed we would be in this place, even back in early January. God is good.
