Talk about inviting yourself over for dinner.....

Jerry and I have been praying, asking God to lead us. And we have been trusting that you are also praying with us, for us. A while ago, we had the idea of inviting some folks that we have met over for a Thanksgiving meal on the 30th of November. We have been praying about this. The people that came into our minds are the older couple here in our building, (the gentleman from our earlier blogs). We were coming home from church yesterday, and who should be outside as we are coming in? our older gentleman friend. He was very happy to see us as usual. We began talking and we told him that this week we would be gone for a few days to Moscow to celebrate our holiday, the Day of Blessings (that is how Thanksgiving is translated here). We told him that when we returned, we wanted to invite him and his wife over to show them how we celebrate this holiday. He said that they would like that but we have to talk about it, and so we followed him up to his apartment to talk to his wife about it. Of course, she wouldn't hear of them coming to our place. We are the guests here in this foreign land, and they needed to invite us over first. So, it is planned, we are going this Sunday to their place for dinner. I really had planned on having them over to our place...but what can I say? I practically invited ourselves to their place.... Pray! we are trusting God that this is His plan and we are quite excited to see this friendship develope!
