Saturday night, 6-26-10....WE MADE IT SAFELY!!!

Thanks for praying! We pulled into MTW headquarters at 5:45 pm and according to Alex Root (our official timekeeper) we made the trip in 11 hours and 15 minutes, including stops.

Tonight, we are attending multiple orientation meetings, so there is little to report. We can give you some highlights from the drive though...

1. The kids found license plates from 27 different states

2. We were witness to the world's largest Pepsi bottle cap in Tennessee!

3. During a lunch rest area stop, we encountered some Muslim travelers which led to some good theological discussions

4. The kids all had fun snapping pictures of the mountains

5. Brett's favorite dialogue....Alex: "When I grow up I want to be a (unintelligable)"

Brett & others (misunderstanding): "A Pirate Director?"

Alex: "No...a CHIROPRACTER!"

6. The kids wanted me to include that we passed Hungry Mother State Park and Creeper Trail along the way!

We are all settled along with groups from New York, Texas, Mississippi and New Jersey (around 100 total). We look forward to worshipping at a local Cherokee church in the morning. We will have more updates tomorrow!
