Today was a red letter day for the family of Pat and Ray LeBarrie of Arima, Trinidad, since this was the day they emigrated to the United States after many years of planning and waiting. They and their two children, Paul and Becky, plan to live in Homestead, Florida, near Ray's mom and brother to be able to better further their children's education and be near relatives.
A large group of us went to the airport to share last minute coffee with them and to bid them a fond farewell. It was a happy and exciting time for them, but mixed emotions for those dear friends they have to leave behind.
The day dawned beautifully, with no rain in sight, in stark contrast to recent days of heavy storms, overcast skies and much flooding. Some pictures of the airport and the send-off crowd from Trinity Reformed Bible Church are included in today's journal entry. Also pictured is their plane, part of BWIA, the national airline.
