We've arrived safe and sound!
We didn't smell too good. We ate crackers, cookies and Pop Rocks until we felt sick. But, we had amazing weather, happy campers, perfect mechanicals and alert drivers (Bryan drove his van the WHOLE way!). God has been good to us.
Interesting and random facts:
- Two van refuels= $300.
- Josh forgot a sleeping bag. So, mom, we made him pick one up at WalMart.
- Nick is holding a flashlight for me right now (and proof-reading) so that I can watch my fingers on the keyboard.
- We came all the way to New Orleans. Our first meal? A Wendy's ACROSS THE STREET From Emeril's. Bam.
- After over two days, when given free time some people elected NOT to take a shower.
So we are one of four other churches here, 2 from Minnesota, and one from Nebraska. We are all staying in one big yellow submarine (house)--girls on one side, boys on the other.
Okay. That's our first day update. I hear someone snoring . . .

I'm so thankful you have arrived. It has been wonderful to read your recent posts as it leads us to thank God and to pray so much more specifically - though we trust that he know ALL of your needs. So, we'll keep praying that God will offer intense protection, unending encouragement and great wisdom and courage as you seek all opportunities to serve those He loves.
Have fun!!
We sure missed you in church today, but I know that we were worshipping together in spirit, if not physically.
We continue praying for you, for safety, for open hearts and eyes to see all the wonderful deeds that the Lord is doing down there!
Note to Nik: Just want you to know that your men did great last night! You can (continue to) be proud of them!
