Almost There...


We just crossed into Louisiana ~ we’re almost there! We’ve had a fantastic trip…smooth travel, little traffic, and lots of laughs. We were warmly greeted by members of Grace E-Free in Memphis, TN last night. They graciously hosted us in their church and showed us warm hospitality. We thank God for these new friends.

As we reflect upon the past 30 hours, we smile fondly at some of these highlights (or lowlights, as the case may be)…

“Sleeping on a pew is not as much fun as I thought it would be. Sleeping in someone else’s pue is worse.” ~ Steph

“Sleeping on a floor may sound cool, but it’s actually painful and gets you two hours of sleep.” ~ John

“My Ozark Trails air mattress is the best $13 I ever spent.” ~ Lori

“I’m wearing the same socks I wore yesterday!” ~ Nick

“I can spell Mississippi backwards: IPPISSISSIM” ~ Kirsten

Extremely large bugs are now splattered across our windshield and our hearts.

Asteck thinks we drove through Oklahoma last night.

Josh breaks the sound barrier when he sleeps.

“Are we there yet?” ~ Emily

“Mr. Lewis is small but he can still wrestle.” ~ Josh

Elijah speaks in tongues while he sleeps.

Eric sounds like the air breaks of a Mack truck when he sleeps.

I am praying for all of you while on this trip. I will pray for your spritual safety as well as your physical. And I think this is such a great idea to keep a blog about your trip. My how has technology changed since I was a student on mission trips!!

I've been praying for you guys and thinking about you all. :)

Tell everyone "!Hola!" for me, and that I'll see them in a week and some days.
