Another Long Day On the Road!










We really don't have much to be complaining about. We had light rain the first three hours today, but the heavy stuff was behind us and an hour in front of us. The rest of the day was near perfect driving conditions. We arrived in Memphis, TN at about 8:15 PM. We have currently logged about 935 miles so far. The hotel had a pool so a number of the team went down to relax and unwind for a while, a nice end to a long day.

We crossed the Mississippi three times we think (Iowa/Illinois, Illinois/Missouri, Arkansas/Tennessee). We drove by the Gateway Arch in St. Louis. Our group watched the movie "The Second Chance" to help us get prepared for our work in New Orleans, we also did a bible study on the road about the "Fruit of the Spirit- Joy".

We plan to leave Memphis at 7 AM so we can get into New Orleans in the afternoon.

Please Pray: Pray for safety as we travel the last 400+ miles. Pray for us as we meet up with our other two youth teams we will be joining.
