We have spent that last two weeks of our "American Tour" in Lubbock, Texas. It has been a great time to catch up friends and for Jeff to continue in his research. We have been blessed by a dear couple who has allowed us to stay with them the entire time. Their hospitality has no limits and we couldn't be more thankful for them. They are a blessing to us and Jeff and I always say 'we want to be just like them when we grow up.'
Jeff has been able to work on research, start some new projects and continue to maintain relationships with other faculty at Texas Tech. Since Jeff is technically still on the faculty at Tech, we have been able to enjoy the Recreation Center and the pool while in town so that's been a bonus for me while he works each day.
I was blessed to have a friend come to town and visit me while in Lubbock. She's a friend I know from my time in Lubbock so it was a blessing for us to walk down memory lane and also consider the ways we have been blessed and grown since leaving Lubbock. We are looking forward to her visit to the UAE later this fall and her upcoming wedding in January. (Jeff and I are especially excited about the wedding - Yosemite Park in January. We will get a real winter!!) We have had more coffee, lunches and dinners than we ever expected. From friends who happen to be in town for the weekend, to friends who moved back to town the weekend we arrived, we have been blessed with catching up with so many people.
While neither one of us have any biological family in Lubbock, we have realized what a wonderful church we had and still have in Lubbock. The people of Westminster have loved on us even after being gone for two years. We have certainly felt as though we are among family while in Lubbock.
