Well, we made it to Tacoma safely.  What a trip!  We’re thankful, very thankful, for the uneventful travels and good times at our various stops.  Even the two rainy thunderstorm-y nights in our tent weren’t too bad.  They could have been way worse, and now we’ve got a good start on camping built into our family DNA.  And, yes, Barbara-Lee is awesome for going along with that!

We saw friends outside Chicago, in Iowa, then got to appreciate the wonders of the Badlands for a couple days, then Devils Tower before resting up in Billings.  We managed to put the finishing touches on our presentation for churches in Billings, then went to Missoula where we were greatly encouraged by the Faith Baptist Church.  What a warm welcome we got.  Then, finally a long day’s drive, well not even too long, to Tacoma, where the Fam was waiting for us as we pulled in at 6 PM.  It was good to have rainy weather as we got to Tacoma.  It just wouldn’t be Tacoma without it!

So now we’re going to take a week or so to settle in, then start finalizing our calendar for church visits, edit and revise our presentation and start thinking about plans for our return to Puebla next year (August 2010, Lord willing).

But thanks for your prayers and care about us as we traveled.  We’ll try to get some photos up, but there are about 1000 to review and organize first!
