Crafting Party for International Gift-Giving

 Greetings Blogees!! It's been quite some time. It's still me Erika but this time on a different adventure. We're heading to Stockholm Sweden for the International Convention and then on to Paris, France where I know that I will just weep when I finally get to see the number 1 item of my bucket list... The Eiffel Tower!!! Gasp!! After a few days in Paris ( I know you heard me say it with a French accent lol) we're off to London England, to catch the sites and to visit our dear friend Richard who we served with in Belize. Now hang on to your hats, but he has told me that he plans to take us to the Downton Abbey Castle!!!! I'm so beside myself!  I know I know that it has an official name, but in my mind it will ALWAYS just be the Downton Abbey Castle!!!

But before we depart, we have so many things to do!! Gordon said that it seems like Amazon is showing up every day!!! That is probably true (lol) but I have to make sure that we are BOTH prepared for this trip of a lifetime, so Amazon has to be involved!! (lol)

So I'm not only pre-packing (those of you who also have OCD fully understand what that is) but I was busy trying to think of ideas of things to take for gifts to give to the other delegates. And then I thought that I wanted to get the brothers and sisters in the congregation involved by helping to make some of the items. So we did some crafting. Ok.... We did A LOT of crafting!! But we had such a blast!!

Now those of you who were former Blogees since 2014 and our time in Belize know that I never disappoint with photographs and videos. So to your new Blogees....Welcome!  I hope you enjoy taking this adventure with us!! 

First... Crafting Party Numero Uno




Lindsay was the master at making bracelets!! She put us all to shame! ❤️
This crafting party was a great success but I still needed more help. So a second party was necessary. And my friend didn't disappoint!! 
Mackenzie drew pictures to make buttons. She was so proud!!




But wait!! I can't forget!! My spiritual daughter, granddaughter and Ari visited from Oklahoma on a stop over heading to Bethel and y'all know I had to put them to work too!! 😆 



So this is the beginning of our Sweden International Convention story. Now for those of you who are new to my blogging, let me explain something to you. 😆 I didn't go back and proofread!! I just don't have the time!! I gotta keep it moving. So you will find typos and grammatical mistakes, and for that allow me to apologize in advance. 

So now I will end this post as I always have. Until next time! Thanks for reading and proofreading!! 😍

Planes, Trains and Automobiles Part 2

Hello Blogees!! How are you?!!! Us?!?! After the travel dayS that we just had I would normally say exhausted but I just can't  because...well let me tell you!!! Ok, so we made it into our flight from Newark to Toronto. No problems everything was as l they would say in Belize Kriol "smooth smooth".  We reached Toronto... Even before we left for Toronto our flight was delayed an hour and 25 minutes. Ok no prob.... For maintenance. O....k... I'd rather they fix the plane now instead of later. 😆 We arrive in Toronto, make it thru immigration and customs blah blah blah and when we reach the gate we find out that the flight was even more delayed and we were basically gateless!! Yes I said gateless!! Every 5 minutes (ok I'm exaggerating 😆 those of you who know me well know that I usually do 😆 but it's for dramatic effect😉) they were texting us a new gate number. Then they finally said.... Listen here! Y'all just ain't got no gate! Not in those exact words...

The Encouraging Gathering and Beyond!!!!

 Greetings and Salutations Blogees!!!  I hope that everyone is doing well!  Me...well...let's just say that we got caught in the rain a few days ago and it took me out!  Ya'll know that I couldn't travel across the pond without getting sick!  But I'm good!  I'm good.  But that's why you haven't heard from me.  But I'm back in action!  I hope everyone is safe and sound after that storm you just had! 💓 On Thursday morning we were scheduled for the Encouraging Gathering in the morning.  So we were up pretty early as to catch breakfast and meet with our group!  I grab my grub and head off to find a seat and found one next to a sister from Guyana named Melinda (who is actually from Guyana and serving there after SKE school with her husband Kerwin who is from Trinidad).  When Gordon was grabbing his food he was talking to a brother and as they both walked in our direction we discovered that our husbands had already befriended each o...
