Today was time for church. Jeremy & Amber are one of the founding members of Conduit Church, together with their best friends Darren Tyler and his wife Shannon.
I’ve been going to their church every time I was in town since I went there for the first time back in 2011.
This time it was my first time in their own church building. They had moved there in 2014, a month or two after I visited them, but I haven’t been back to the USA since then so was never able to check it out before.
It’s really a beautiful building and church as well. Now they have a lot of rooms for each children’s division as well as a nursery too while the adults are in church.
It was really great to see Darren en Shannon again and I even got to meet a few other friends from Amber & Jeremy.
I was also lucky that day because Amber was singing in the ministry that day so I got to enjoy her beautiful voice again. Jeremy had to teach bible study to the toddlers so he wasn’t doing ministry unfortunately. Would’ve loved to see him play guitar again and hear him sing because, just like his wife and sisters-in-law, he’s a great singer-musician too.
After church Sarah took us to mama Sue because Amber & Jeremy had to stay behind for the next service.
Unfortunately mama Sue wasn’t feeling too well that week so she decided to stay home instead of coming to church, but luckily we could still go to her place for lunch and spend some time together.
She had very yummy chicken-noodle soup for lunch.
After lunch we all played a really fun card game together.
When Sarah had to go to her client, Keith, Sue’s husband, took her place so we could finish the game. But not before taking a picture together and also both of us with our mommies.
I totally crushed that game! Beginners luck they say and that was definitely the case for me this time! Proof in the picture below:
After lunch Sue wanted to share one of her traditions with me: watching A White Christmas. They always watch that movie around Thanksgiving with the whole family together.
Mom had already seen it of course back in the day but I never had before so I was excited to see the movie.
Mama Sue made it even more special by giving us a delicious dessert: chocolate cream with strawberries.
Felt really cosy laying underneath a blanket on her couch, enjoying that yummy dessert while watching a Christmas movie.
I always love going to Mama Sue’s place because she always decorates her house so beautifully when she’s having guests and her food is always very yummy too.
Those are very precious moments for me, to be able to spend them with my US mama. She’s really my second mom and has been there for me during my darkest days and has thought me so many life lessons. Don’t know what I’d do without her😘 (or her amazing daughters for that matter).
After our movie was done, Amber arrived to come pick us up.
Such a great day well spent!
Unfortunately today was also my last day I would see Sarah or Sue as we’ll be leaving back home tomorrow😥😥😥.
