The three of us just had a team meeting and we need to apologize for all the capital letters. Dieta has been typing these blogs, and she uses CAPITAL LETTERS to add EMPHASIS in SENTENCES! When Sara and Melissa read this, they imagine yelling. We are not actually yelling at you. We have realized that a more appropriate method will be purple letters. Whenever you see purple letters, please add emphasis and excitement to your tone of voice.
Lets try it out:
Once upon a time as Sara, Dieta, and Melissa were on a plane from Seattle to Amsterdam on their way to Kenya, Dieta started to feel pretty sick. As they waited for their huge plane to take off, she noticed that the barf bags on Delta Airlines were very high quality. They were made out of plastic instead of paper, and had a handy adhesive strip to seal the bag. Good thing, because a few hours into the flight the bag was her best friend. Sara looked over and saw Dieta trying to sleep cradling the bag in her arms. She knew something was not right. HOOOUGHAAALLALLA. (notice the purple and caps. This means screaming and emphasis.) This is what Dieta sounded like as she filled up the high quality barf bag. Several passengers could not care less that she was spilling her cookies into a bag, they really had to pee. So they pushed pass her, bumping into her poor little sick head as she was leaning into the aisle, filling a second faithful bag. Don't worry! The flight attendants took good care of her and after a little nap she happily enjoyed her meal of chicken and rice cakes.
The end.

Purple letters...hmmm....I think I can get used to em. I'm sorry to hear about the bagging incident....but that is one experience I have not had yet. Maybe one day. I hope that is the first and last time you have to go through that Dieta! :) Ok, enough, it is early and I have school. God Bless you all!
ReplyDeleteMy mother's heart is aching right now and I can just imagine what your grandmother will say when she reads this. I'm SO SORRY (yelling runs in the family) that you had to suffer Dieta. I wish I was there but I am glad the stewardesses took good care of you. The fact that you could eat after makes me feel a lot better.
ReplyDeleteNow the adventures begin, I pray they will be of a more enjoyable kind.
Love you sweetheart and we are praying for the whole team. Wave hello to the Spechts in Uganda for me (since you are so close)
Love mom

Oh no... I couldn't imagine... I get motion sick, but have never done so in an airplane. Yet one more reason for me not to want to take an airplane anywhere anytime soon.
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying reading your posts - keep 'em coming... and may God bless your journey and renew your hearts as you serve Him!
DIETA!!!! (yep, I just yelled your name). You make me laugh so much!!!! Thank you for that story. But I'm so sorry to hear about your not so fun plane ride. To second what Jonny said, I hope the back of the pickup ride doesn't give you the same results.
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited for all three of you. Some crazy cool adventures lie ahead! I'm praying for you guys. I love you all!
