on the road-->El Paso







HELLO! We arrived in El Paso last night right on time! It was great to have a shower and eat and.....sleep in a bed! It was kinda of hard to sleep in the van the night before...and many of us found that we mostly "pretended" to sleep! Here are some pictures of the trip so far!



As we travelled in Saskatchewan we came across the small Dog River...


After spending about and hour at the border we started heading through Montana! Through Wyoming and on through Colorado our awesome van and trailer travelled us through the night.



This is a picture of our breakfast rest stop in Pinon, Colorado at around 8:30 AM










OHH what happened!!!??? THe wheel separated and we almost died but God and Dale saved us! After that, Ben almost died after sticking his head into a spider infested culvert. Check these monsters out!


Well we arrived safely at El Paso at NTM's Guesthouse, and now we're off to cross the Mexican border. Please keep on praying...everyone is healthy and safe, Praise The Lord!!!

Thanks for the updates! So good to hear about your experiences so far and to see your pictures. I was so disappointed not to be able to see you all off because of another commitment. God bless you each one and may you bless each other and those you come in contact with. Our prayers are with you! Rob, please greet all of your family for me!

Glad to hear you guys are making it there. Looks like God's hand is protecting you along the way. Hopefully the van will keep on chugging along! God bless you guys. Note to Ruth: Jordan says sorry he didn't connect with you and Brennan before you left, as his cell phone battery was dead for a couple days. His band arrives in S'toon tonight and I'll see him tomorrow afternoon. They'll be there for 3 days.
Keep on posting updates!
