planes, trains, and automobiles

We just returned from our mid-west tour on Saturday and it was a great trip. We flew into Madison and visited friends and their church missions team and then drove to O'Hare. From there we took the train downtown and hung out for a few hours until we boarded the Megabus for St. Louis. There we stayed with friends and connected with most of our donors in St. Louis. We did a presentation at Church on Sunday and I got to do a reading during the service and pray. After St. Louis we headed to Kansas City to see two families there and then flew back to Hartford after 10 days of travel. It was a full, but great time as we were able to strengthen relationships, update others on life here, and be encouraged by others. It was good to take a step back from the various details which can be overwhelming and look at the big picture of what God has been up to the past 11months we've been in CT. Thanks for all of you who made time to hang out with us and we wish we had a few more days so we could see everyone, but sadly that wasn't possible.
