First visitors - good friends - great day!

Mary and Bob in front of our house.



Mary and Bob Thomas were on a Southern Gospel cruise that included Nassau as one of it's stops. We had been emailing with Bob and Mary for about a week before their arrival to find out what they would to do or see while here for the day. They had been here before and seen the tourist areas, so they decided to spend the day with us, seeing the "real" Nassau. We had a gourmet lunch at Wendy's and then off to The Adventure Learning Centre! Mary immediately fell in love with the donkeys - she said that it made her homesick for her donkeys in FL. Bob was taken aback by the price of deodorant here - he said he would stink if he lived here, for $8 for men's deodorant. We had a great day visiting, catching up, and showing them what God has called us to do here in Nassau. It was so nice to see friends from home and get to share our life here with them. Thank you for being such a blessing to us Mary and Bob!

When Mary and Bob arrived we found out that the Brown family was performing on the ship. The Browns had performed at Harvest Chapel about a year ago, and our kids had become friends, and have stayed in communication with them through MySpace. Below is a picture of all of us together when they got off the cruise ship. Their family was in a hurry to get a video made during the day so we didn't get to spend much time with them. We are thankful that they took the time to have their picture taken with us. You can check our their website at http://www.thebrownsmusic.com/. They are amazing.
