Day 3

We have arrived!!! After a crazy, unintended, trip into to NYC's upper side, we arrived in Meriden about 2 hours late. We were met street side at New Beginning Church and ushered in for prayer time and dinner.

As I said this morning, we started our day very early and I was in awe at God's beauty in the Virginia Mountains! What I was wrong about is how many states we were going through today....it was not 5, it was 7!! We left Virginia, went into West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, and finally into Connecticut. Unbelievable!! I could not sleep, I was afraid I would miss something. The kids, on the other hand, slept a lot!

After dinner tonight we went out and scouted the mission park sites. We will be in three parks, Mills, Foster-Groves, and Crescent. This is a area that has kids that have seen so many more things than our kids ever will. We have such an awesome opportunity to serve and introduce Jesus to them all! After seeing where they will be and hearing some of the things they will be seeing and what to expect, they are all ready to head out on to this mission field. There is such love in these youth and I am excited to see them share it.

We got checked into our hotel tonight and as I write this, my three sweet roomies are sacked out in the beds. We will be starting tomorrow at the parks at 9:30 eastern time, so please pray for us.

Now that we are settled in a room and I am not posting this from the road, I will try to get some photos up tomorrow.

Good night!
