Robyn in Vancouver
I'm sure most of you who are reading this know that my best friend Robyn since the end of the high school has officially moved to Vancouver. We had the most amazing day yesterday though! I went over to her house on Monday morning and started packing up the stuff in the house. We went to the passport office to get her passport and then went out to an amazing sushi restaurant and it was sooooo yummy! My new favourite thing is tempura yam and tempura vegetable rolls. Mmmm!
We went back to the house and moved out some more things and by 10:30 we were getting hungry so we (Holly and I) decided to take Robyn out for her last meal in toronto with us. We started walking toward the short cut where we usually go and we saw a car with the lights on. So we walked past the car and the doors started to open. We walked a bit faster. The car followed us. We walked up someone's driveway making the 4 guys in the car think that it was our house. They drove past and parked in a driveway and turned the lights off, but kept the car running. I rang the doorbell and told the woman why we were at her door and she said she didn't want to help us. Robyn called her dad's cell number and told him to come get us quick. We walked down the driveway and back towards Robyn's house. The car pulled out of the driveway and followed us again. It was a unanimous agreement. RUN! I have never run like that in my whole entire life. As we crossed the street (where the car couldn't drive to), we saw Robyn's dad's car coming. Her brother and dad were in the car and were asking what the car looked like. We were way to scared to agree. They drove around for a while asking if we could see the car, but we couldn't. They drove us home and we were pretty shaken up for a while. We decided to soak our feet in the tub with some nice smelling soap. We were in there for a while. Our friend Nick came over and picked up some pizza and wings for us. It was so good! (New favourite toppings are tomatoes and feta, remember that!). We all helped her pack her suitcases and then went to bed. waking up at 4:20 was so hard but we did make a Timmy Ho's run for some ho cho and then of the airport. There were a lot of tears but she got to Vancouver safely which is what I prayed for.
Just pray that she will feel God's power while she is there. I saw her pack her picture bible which was a real joy. She doesn't have a real bible so I'm going to send her one in the mail with a surprise.
