It's not a problem...

Well... I think it is. See here's the brief story... There was a phone conversation one day where Germaine was not on the phone but another person was. Germaine expressed that she was unable to get a ride back from JFK if her and the person on the other end of the phone were to stay later than the rest of the team. The person in the room with her expressed this to the person on the phone. From what Germaine understood... the person on the phone said "No, problem... I can get us a ride." Germaine has since learned that said person does not recall the conversation and it appears we may be stranded in NYC... anyone up for a road trip on Sunday to JFK??? Gas $$ will be involved and Germaine won't need to beat someone (who's name is being withheld) up if they are stuck together in NYC...

Well, NYC certainly leaves a wide-open mission field for you to tackle while stranded! You can get a bus for $10 or something like that to Boston - Courtney had to do it last year but I don't know details. In the meantime, "Cast all you anxiety on Him because He cares for you." 1Pet5:7 God bless you Germaine, and special blessings for Nate :) love and prayers, grammy d

bus to boston still requires finding a ride from boston and finding a ride to the bus station in NYC with luggage after travelling for 2 days... not a fan of that plan...

Just remember that I will be in Boston that night till 11pm or so! No problem if you come in on a train or bus. I could find you!

Ah... the life of a missionary... no fun sometimes :) If I was up there, I would come get you in a heartbeat. I know how much it would suck to have to take a bus after that flight. Hopefully someone will come to their senses and pick you up. if not, I may need to beat someone up! Love you...

Hahaha! Taking a bus home to NH after those plane rides? That's just what we did! Everyone was pretty beat and the back of the bus was really quiet! The guitars up front were pretty sweet though! And the Wendy's stop? Fountain soda and real ketchup! Yum! G and Nate, will be praying that someone is available to come and get you! Hope you enjoy the rest of your week in Namibia!

Thanks Nancy! It would be nice to have a co-pilot. I'll call you later and we'll devise a plan.

Nancy . . .you and Lizzie are awesome! I wrote to her this morning with a drawn out plan to try and help, as we are going to be in Cortland, NY. My plan was a huge l o n g shot, at best, and I should have know that the two most important women in Nathan's life would come to the rescue. You are the very 'bestest' mom and she is the 'bestest' fiancee in the whole world!!! I feel honored to know you both!! Nathan is one lucky man! Love, Kate oxoboxo
ps - make sure you give him hug (no meatballs) from us!!!! Please!
And NATHAN . . .you truly are blessed!

I bet he'd enjoy some meatballs! I'm tempted to stop and grab a pizza, since it's come up in email so often. You are very sweet. He'll get many kisses! This should be fun.
