This is the drive that never ends it goes on and on my friends

Day 2 started at eight when we headed out from our hotel and hit the road. We drove through Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas and a little bit of Mississippi. We reached our second hotel of the trip in Memphis, Tennessee at about 6:45. Went and ate at CiCi's pizza, pasta and more for dinner. And then took a dip in the pool and so far that has been our day. To end our day Logan Knutson shared a devotional with the group. Thanks for reading but now for more on the poem!

This is the drive that never ends
it just goes on and on my friends
as we did drive a lot of bends
we played Pictionary with our pens
and every one is best of friends

P.S. Our card reader broke. Sorry! We'll get you the pictures as soon as possible.

Dave drove, we rode!!!

We arrived at church and loaded the trailer and had a time of prayer. We departed First Free precisely at 3:17, once we crossed the Iowa border, we stopped at a rest stop to stretch our legs ;) . The rain was atrocious, a few of our team members got soaked, trying to find the van which Dave had moved. We drove for 390 miles to Cedar Rapids, Iowa. We made a quick pit stop at Subway for supper. Now we are here informing you about our day of fun!!!

We packed up the load
Dave drove, we rode
we played catch phrase
and had a good day
we made a nice poem
aren't ya glad we aren't home?

Catch ya tomorrow with some pictures and pay attention to our never ending poem!!!

1 Week and Counting

We will be taking our 9th team of youth to the Central City of New Orleans to partner with CastleRock Community Church and Urban Impact Ministries. We have already had 3 team meetings. Our Team consists of 13 student and 2 adult leaders. Each team member needs to raise a minimum of $550 as well as a prayer support team. Please be in prayer for the team as they make their final plans for the trip. Be sure to check back regularly to view pictures, team member journals, video uploads and specific prayer requests.
