This was a quote found on a church marquee this afternoon as we drove through Gulfport, MS. We have decided that this is the motto for our trip.
We left Saturday morning and drove to Memphis, where we spent the night at St. Lukes UMC. Highlights of the trip included wildlife sightings. After our first pit stop, one vehicle got stuck at a red light behind a livestock trailer containing two calves and an zebra. Yes, a zebra, stripes and all (see photographic proof).
Later in the trip there was an alleged sighting of a one humped camel. No proof is available at this time, but we are going to watch for it on our way home next weekend.
We arrived in Vancleave this evening at dinner time. After meeting the UMCOR representatives we enjoyed barbeque at The Shed. The Shed is made of corrugated metal walls and decorated by dumpster art. Everyone who eats there signs their name on the wall or ceiling. We signed our names on the ceiling along with many others, and Jan enjoyed some piano playing time outdoors.
As of this writing we haven’t yet seen the team from Costa Rica, as they went to a Spanish language worship service. We are looking forward to seeing them soon.
All we know about tomorrow is that breakfast is at 7, and we will start working shortly after that. We look forward to receiving our assignments and getting to work.
