We are getting ready to leave. It is 4:04. My group is different than the group that I drove down with. Pastor B and family are driving straight through to Michigan so I grabbed an empty seat with Keith. Keith's 4th passenger is driving the box trip back because the box trip driver had to fly home because he had a bad eye condition. Now, if you can follow that you must be reading this later in the day because I'm having trouble following it. The Baerwolf's were going to drop me by the side of the road somewhere near Joliet and hope one of the others on the team picks me up. No. really, we had a plan but this was really the best. This also buys them almost an hour earlier on the road.
I am packed, my bed is sanitized, and I am here in the corner staying out of the way. I don't look forward to this long drive but it is better than stopping midway. I am anxious to get home and back to my family and I am sure the rest of the team is, too. While we have been here working for other families we have missed ours dearly.
Time to get some last minute stuff ready and get off the camp's computer in case others want to use it to check the travel conditions.
Pray for our safe journey. And also pray for the folks down here. We have left them a bit further along with their road home but there is still much to do. Maybe even 10 more years. Can you imagine that? Keep the Gulf Coast in your hearts and prayers. Everytime we leave here we take a bit of this place with us and leave a bit of ourselves behind. It's hard to forget the hugs and tears of appreciation.
Peace and love to all
