We Made It!!

Hello all…from somewhere in Mississippi!!! We are on our second day of road tripping. Last night we stayed with the Slaters….friends of Bill Younkers that we stayed with back in February. I must say the Slaters gave that Younkers a run for their money! We had awesome, comfy accommodations and a gourmet breakfast to send us off. God bless the Slaters. Of course last night we visited Ryan’s Buffet for dinner…..the south really knows how to do a buffet.

Which bring us to our Quote of the moment:
“We can have any of this we want?”-Nick and Leif
“Yes.”-Michele
“As much as we want?”- Nick and Leif
“Yes”-Michele

Unfortunately Barb was up all night with food poisoning. Please, put her in your prayers. She is still not feeling well and not keeping anything down.

God has been so faithful!! We have already encountered great people, weather…..Right now its 93…just the way we like it. It’s amazing to see such a diverse group of people come together and bond as the body of Christ! Despite much complaining…I (Michele) implemented a # system that required us to change cars and passengers at every stop the first day…..I don’t know if Leif and Nick will ever recover. But it did give everyone a chance to get to know each other.

We had some great sharing at our devotions last nite…..It’s so awesome to see God give us what we need as individuals!!!

We did arrive at the West Wing, our home for the week, about 8:30. Pretty uneventful trip into the city, but we were able to view an awesome sunset just before reaching New Orleans. Have fun and tune in later.
