One crazy trip
June 28-Aug 8
Here’s a condensed summary of the past 6 weeks since we left our home in Morton:
42 days on the road
5600 miles
12 different beds
14 states (IL, IA, NE, CO, NM, TX, LA, MS, AL, FL, GA, TN, KY, IN)
It seems exhausting and in some aspects it was. Thankfully only one of those 12 beds was less than optimal. We got stuck with a smoking room with stained walls, floors, ceilings, at a hotel on our way to Texas. Other than that, we’ve been blessed by the hospitality of many friends and family along the way.
We are in Bluffton now staying with the Kipfers. We had moved all of our belongings to Bluffton before we left so we’ve been able to sort through a few things and even feel a bit more “settled.” We emptied out the Jeep, took off the troublesome used bike rack and boy did that feel good! I’ve never enjoyed using a shop vac in 90 degree heat so much! I think the Jeep even breathed a sigh of relief as it was unloaded.
Now our next stop: Haiti. Sunday, August 16 we leave for Haiti for three weeks. We’ll be spending time with Rich and Amber Pfister and their family who recently moved to Haiti with LSM. We’ll also be getting acquainted with LSM’s Homes of Hope for orphans.
As we continue to travel and prepare for Ethiopia, we very much appreciate the continued prayers and support.
