Travel Day Uno

I arrived at the church this morning at 6:30. We were told to be there at 6:30 so we could leave at 7. One reason I wanted to be there promptly at 6:30 was so I could choose my seat on the van. I chose the 4th row window seat, same as last year. Its not the very back, but its close. After loading my travel items on the chosen seat I took my suite case and bed roll and loaded them in the trailer.

We left the church around 7:20 headed for McAllen, Texas. One of the girls from the Spanish church was not there when we left and was unreachable on the phone. The decision was made to go without her. We were meeting up with brother Sammy at the Super Target in McKinney. At some point the girl contacted us and her parents brought her to meet is in McKinney.

So, we had a little time to hang out there. We went to the Starbucks in Target and got yummy treats, then we walked the parking lot for a little exercise. Christina arrived and we loaded back up and headed out.

The rest of the trip was long and uneventful. We stopped every 2 to 3 hours to refuel or use the restroom. We arrived in McAllen around 7:20. We went to El Casa Del Taco for dinner. Yes, Mexican food right before we go to Mexico? Doesn't make sense to me either, oh well! While we were eating, a man selling roses came around the table. Lyn bought one for Lissa then he left. Later another man came by and they were trying to get Tillman to buy one for Jewel, he said he didn't need to buy one because he hadn't done anything wrong! Ha ha!

We are at the church now. Waiting to have a meeting so I can go to bed!

Meeting is over. As usual, everything has changed and thrown us for a loop. Much prayer is needed as we are trying to rearrange all our plans now. We had originally planned to do the vision clinic in the morning, then the pastors conference, then VBS, as the kids were still in school. Now, we just found out that school suddenly let out and the best time to do VBS is in the morning. So, things are changing, but we know that the harder Satan attacks the greater the work God has in store!

We are meeting at 6:30 in the morning for breakfast, then loading up on the van at 7:00 to go exchange money and head for the border. Our travels have been good so far, please pray tomorrow goes the same. Pray also again for a vision. Adapting is always difficult, but impossible without a clear vision.

For His Purpose,

Heather
