We made it to Noble Valley. I spent most of the flight mad about my car. Hobert spent most of the flight quiet. MariBeth spent most of the flight trying to cheer the both of us up.

MariBeth and I checked into the hotel. I had time to change to go to the meeting with the courtesy drivers at Lighthouse Church. I was supposed to meet Hobert's pastor, but I wasn't really in the mood. I was hoping that I could get out of meeting him.

Eld. Hollings came and picked MariBeth and I up. I asked him why Hobert didn't come pick us up, but he never did tell me. I had planned on asking Hobert if I could meet his pastor some other time. Oh well, so much for that.

We got to the church at 7:00 PM. There were some ladies setting up for the meeting. They had cakes, cookies, and pies set up on a table. There were drinks on another table. It was an awesome spread. One of the ladies walked up to me and hugged me. She said, "You must be KiKi." I just looked at her. MariBeth said, "She doesn't have any home training. She is KiKi White and I am MariBeth Lewis. How are you doing?" The lady hugged MariBeth and said, "I'm fine. I am Sis. Strong. Glad to have you ladies here with us tonight." Sis. Strong went over to a group of ladies and started talking to them and pointing in MariBeth and my direction. MariBeth leaned over to me and said, "I wonder what they are saying about you." I just shook my head.

Someone came up behind me and said, "BOO!" I turned and it was Hobert. He was smiling. He grabbed me by the hand and started taking me around the room and introducing me to everyone in sight. I hope he wasn't expecting me to remember anyone's name. I think everyone that I was introduced to gave me a hug.

Thankfully, I didn't get to meet Hobert's pastor before the meeting. I wasn't in the mood.
