Dear Friends and Family,
Just wanted to tell you a little about my trip. Yesterday I arrived safe and sound in Albuquerque, NM where Naomi pick me up. I had a wonderful flight, looking at NM from the air was really beautiful and the views were even better from the ground. The Albuquerque airport was beautiful! It was definitely the most beautiful and calm airport I've ever been in; decorated more like a restaurant than an airport. It was really wonderful to finally meet Naomi. She is so sweet and immediately I felt right at home with her even though we hadn't been in touch for years. We drove about an hour into Santa Fe where we stop at a pizza shop and received a ready to bake pizza. That was a new experience. I've never been to a pizza shop that prepared pizzas for you to bake at home. From Santa Fe it was about a half hour drive to Española. It was around 8:30pm (10:30pm EST) when we arrived at her house. Naomi's mom met us at the door and shortly after I met her sister, Rachel, her dad and four brothers: Andrew, Luke, David, and Benjamin. They set me up in my room (Rachel's room actually). She was so wonderful to loan it to me. Then we spent some time getting to know each other before evening prayer. After which, Naomi and I stayed up and talked for a while longer before heading to bed.
