13,016


The odometer on our car now reads 176,198 as it sits in our freezing cold driveway here in Minnesota. The odometer read 163,182 back in July when Esther and I left scorching hot MAF headquarters in Redlands, CA for Santa Rosa, CA. A quick calculation shows that since we left Redlands we have put 13,016 miles on the car. Trust us, that is a lot of seat time, a lot of coffee, rest areas, fast food, and different beds. We are thankful to be back in Worthington for a couple of weeks before embarking again on a trip. We are also thankful for so many safe miles with relatively little car problems. We attribute this to the prayers of our supporters. Thanks to those who remember us regularly, let us crash on your guest beds, floors and sofas, and thanks to Saab for making a comfortable "moving house". Posted by Picasa

Kludge,
Yes, it is kind of weird being back, i'm not sure i have room in the car to store anything else, we'll try.

SJ,
we're looking forward to be back in your area sometime soon. Check you local listings for updates.

I'm glad that you have had an encouraging time. I would really like to borrow my car when we are in Charlotte in Feb/March, can I? Will we be able to see you there, too? We are praying for you and for your encouragement and support. We know tht God has great plans for you and we miis you more than we can say. Enjoy the holidays with Jeremy and Steph, wish we could be there.
