Tomorrow we are heading back home to California. We have been in Texas and as usual it has gone by so fast and I feel like I have hardly started to catch up with everyone. It has been wonderful to see all my family. And thanks to facebook for helping meet up with more. I can't remember now if it had recommended family members to me or if I had searched my grandmothers name one day when I was thinking of her. Both are so likely but I was blessed on seeing two names I had heard so much about but didn't really remember.
It was so cool getting to stay and hearing stories especially about my grandma. I still think about her so often, especially with us going into Navigators. I selfishly wish she was here to see because I know she would be so excited and proud of me. She had such a heart for missionaries and I wish I had taken advantaged of the time I had with her to hear more of her stories.
Being here it reminds me again of how much I love hearing about people's history, especially the generations before me. I have had so many questions I wish I could ask my grandma and I am trying to not make the same mistake with my other grandma. It has been such a blessing being here.
We also went to hear my cousin Wendell and his family lead worship at church, I just love getting to worship with family. The night before they had pulled out guitars and handed them our and just all singing worship songs together was so awesome! Meeting my cousin Wendell was so cool, I felt like I knew him even before I got out here through our brief messages on facebook. But he is one of those people who is just so open and honest and it just felt so comfortable with him and his whole family right away. They were such a neat group. I feel so blessed that I have such an amazing family and with so many that love Jesus and want to serve Him and I love that its so easy to stay in contact with them. Can't wait for them to come to visit us!
