Patricia kindly drove us to the bus station, where we caught a bus to Sea-Tac Airport. By 9 pm, we landed in Phoenix after a long day of travel. Despite the exhaustion, we were filled with joy to reunite with our friend.

He’s so generous to host us and care for us while we’re here. I’m looking forward to quality time together, catching up, and getting some of our chores done.

It feels wonderful to return to the city I once called home, especially after traveling across the entire country. Coming from Washington, I’m cherishing the vast, open sky with bright sunshine all over again.

Lord, thank You for guiding my steps and leading my life. I will do my best to bring Your light wherever I go. I love You and the beautiful world You’ve created for me.
