We left Gary’s this morning around 10:30, a bit late but still ok for the next leg of our journey. I know I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, several times I’m sure, but God has introduced us to some wonderful people the past few weeks.


Thanks Gary for the great coffee and even better conversations. You were a blessing to me and your faith during difficult times has encouraged me. Your faith is not only in your words but also in the way you live. May God continue to be your strength and show Himself to you.

It was about a four hour drive to Evansville, Indiana for our next stop at Greg and Joyce Donaldson’s. Joyce was very gracious and invited us for a little walk to stretch our legs – and it felt so good! Tarrin was able to get veggies and herbs right from Joyce’s garden for dinner, so now she’s going to try her green thumb in Phoenix again! The poor girl has a tough road with the extreme heat but I know she’ll give it a try.

Joyce made a fabulous meal and we had a wonderful conversation that went into the evening. Yes I’m saying it again – God has brought such fascinating people into our lives and I am so thankful for the opportunity to meet and talk with everyone on this trip.

We are so appreciative of everyone who has opened their home for us to stay and fed us to help keep the costs of this trip to a minimum. As we are traveling telling others about the kids in Kenya their needs continue. Last week we sent funds to Gideon (Nice View Academy) for food at Mercy Child Foundation and Nice View Academy. The cost of food is still high but we are trusting God to move people to support this ministry so we can continue meeting their basic needs. If you feel led to help please go to Saved By God’s Grace or The Change Campaign and donate online.
