My Best Surprise

This is a personal story I wrote for English 4. - Emily Albertson

It was a well-kept secret. When I woke up at 6:00 am on August 31, 2007, Randy, Joy, and Quil were here! They had kept it a secret; only Daddy knew. They had driven all night and they were very tired. I got to hold Quil. I noticed he had grown a lot since we saw him last. He was very sweet and fun to hold. We had fun together while they were here that weekend. We babysat while Randy and Joy slept. Everybody watched Quil have a bath. We played Dutch Blitz. We went to the mountains and had a breakfast picnic. We drove in the mountains, then we ate at Sonic. They left on Monday morning. We were sad that they were leaving. Then on the way home, their truck broke down and they had to put on a new fuel pump. God helped Randy get a good price for the part and helped him to install it. They had to travel through the night so they got home the next morning. God kept them safe. We still are so happy that Randy, Joy, and Quil came to see us. It was a wonderful surprise and a big blessing to us!
