Kevin and I got up at about 6 a.m., pulled together the last minute details and packed everything into the car. Mom and Dad took us down to the Southside RP church where we finally arrived at about 7:20 a.m. After a quick challenge from Pastor Johnston and Mr. Hanson we got a group picture and loaded into the van and truck. We pulled out of the parking lot at about 7:45 with me driving the truck (and trailer) and Heather Baumgardner driving the 12-passenger van. Driving the truck took a little of adjusting because there’s a dead spot in the steering, but after 3 or more hours, I had pretty much got it figured out. J We drove for a good long while, probably around 3 hours before we stopped somewhere in Kentucky past Louisville for a bathroom break. After about 15 minutes we were back on the road and this time I rode in the van. Following another 2 hours or so we had another quick break and were back on the road. Again I rode in the van until we stopped for lunch at about 12:45. We stopped at the welcome center to Tennessee and got out the meat, peanut butter, and jelly for sandwiches; chips and water which constituted our lunch. After about 30 minutes we were back on the road again with Mr. Hanson driving the truck again and I rode in the van once again. At about 3 after we got gas, I got in the driver’s seat of the truck again and drove until just after 6pm when we stopped in Selma, AL at the wal-mart to eat dinner (again sandwiches like at lunch). After filling up with gas, we drove to the church which was only about 15 minutes away. We got to the church at about 7:45 and met Pastor Joseph and also Ray and Alice Joseph who were here visiting. The group played a couple games of “zoo” and “I never” before we started cycling people through the shower (those that wanted one). Lights went out at about 10pm, and at last I’m able to sleep! Boy am I tired (it’s kinda hard to sleep in the vehicles with everyone talking)!
