So many things made our trip to Yankee Stadium last night special.
Yankees vs. Red Sox.
Derek Jeter’s last game at Yankee Stadium against the Red Sox.
We were together as a family.
We were with our friends Doug and Cathy Fields.
We visited Monument Park for the first time (except Natalia who visited last summer at Yankees Camp).
David Ortiz of the Red Sox did what he does and hit 2 home runs.
Derek Jeter did what he does and had 2 RBIs and a run scored.
The Red Sox were up 4-3 going into the bottom of the 9th.
Natalia put on her rally cap.
Teixeira hit a home run into our section to tie the game.
Rally cap working!
Headley hit a walk-off home run 2 batters later. Awesome!
Rally cap worked!
Yankees Win 5-4! Thhhhhhhaaaaaaa Yankeeeeeeeessssss Wiiiiiiinnnnnnn!
Stadium rocking to Frank Sinatra “New York, New York.”
Amazing!
Did I mention that this was Natalia’s early birthday present?
Happy little girl when she went to sleep last night!
Last month we asked you all to pray for Rachel Caldwell, one of our former students who was experiencing serious brain shunt failure while on a missions trip. She made it back to the United States and underwent surgery to repair the shunt. Last week, while we were in Virginia for a family reunion, we were able to see Rachel for a while. She is doing great, and we really enjoyed our time with her, albeit brief. Thanks for praying for this awesome woman of God!
I recently read the book God Space by Doug Pollock. It was a wonderful book about engaging in spiritual conversations in a natural way. I recommend you pick up a copy of the book and give it a read. Here are Wonder Questions from the book to help you take your conversations to a more meaningful place.
Here is the video of the message I preached yesterday at Shelter Rock Church Syosset.
Today our team enjoyed a much-deserved day of shopping, eating, and relaxing after a week of hard work. We hit the market this morning for some haggling and souvenir shopping. Then we went for lunch – some did McDonald’s (which I will never understand on a missions trip! lol!) while a bunch of us went to Twin Brother’s Fish Fry and ate the local favorite cuisine … conch. We had conch fritters (like hush puppies), conch chowder, conch salad (like ceviche), cracked conch, and conch burgers. I also ate Snapper, which was delicious as well. We then went to the beach and enjoyed swimming, volleyball, coconut water, and fruit smoothies. It was a wonderful day and everyone had a great time. Tonight we will have our final service and time of sharing. Tomorrow we head home. Thanks for praying for us!
We thought it was really cool to have several people on our team with their family members. On Sunday even more families are heading out from our church on a team to serve in Nicaragua. Families that serve together stay together.
