It was Sunday once again. Hannah woke up early and prepared for church. She was excited to see people from the Presbyterian Church in Boulder. She was greeted warmly by the church members and was ushered to the third row pew. She was silently praying for a while until the bell rung to announce the arrival of the Pastor. The Choir members started singing to the Lord. "Am blessed! Really blessed! Thank you Lord for the freedom to worship you." mumbled Hannah. "I hope and pray that many people especially my family and friends, including Igor, find joy in Your presence oh God" continued Hannah. The worship service took about forty five minutes.
After the service, Hannah was invited to participate in the young adults camping event in Colorado Springs for three days, from Friday to Sunday. Apparently, Hannah would be busy next week for the mid-term examinations so she declined the invitation.
Hannah went straight to the bus station. She thought of so many things to do - wash and iron clothes, clean and fix her apartment and of course, review her lessons. "Hmmm....I have to go home now. I just have to buy some grocery items" Hannah told herself.
From a distance, she saw Igor with headset, listening to music in a music store near the bus station. She approached Igor and inquired the kind of music he likes. Igor said "country music". "Hannah, where have you been?" inquired Igor. "I just came from church and in a hurry to go home. I have so many things to do at home." answered Hannah. "Oh I see. Actually, I'm waiting for my Russian friend here. We are going to visit Denver." said Igor. "Take care, Igor. By the way, don't forget our mid-terms next week. " replied Hannah.
