I actually wrote this in the car on Friday as we were driving and pasted it in here today. Now today, Sunday we are on the road again, and then tomorrow in the air.

We’re finally on our way home—from travel to School of Missions and from visiting several churches and friends and family throughout the Midwestern part of the U.S. Today we went through rural Caliornia—I bet you didn’t know there was such a thing! We passed through towns such as Ravendale, population 20 and Termo, elevation 5,300, population 26. Now we’re on the road between Lakeview and Klamath Falls. Our GPS says we’ll arrive back in Gresham at 10:28 tonight, but we know we’ll get home long before that; the GPS calculates our speed as about 36 MPH on secondary roads and 60 MPH on the Interstate. We go a bit faster than that!
At first we were planning to drive to Winnemucca, Nevada yesterday, after visiting Chuck’s cousin in Henderson. But when Chuck checked on the internet, he said there are virtually NO hotels in Winnemucca, and the only one that was fit to stay at was full. However, Reno offers rooms at their casino hotels for next to nothing, so we drove there! Of course, they expect that they’ll make up the loss on your room when you indulge in the slot machines, but I’m afraid they lost money on us.
God is good. May He bless you and your family just as He is blessing us.
