Los Angeles!

This morning we met with a sweet church who were a great last stop on our journey. We had a big lunch with some of the members and headed out on the road, determined to make it all the way home before dinner, safe and sound. We did that, and we are all thankful to be snuggling into our beds this evening! I am thankful not to share a room or really much space at all with the children (after two months in a minivan our house feels quite spacious!), though this trip taught me that in a disaster we could all spend a lot of time in close quarters if necessary. :)

A few stats:

--62 full days
--over 10,500 miles
--19 states
--20 churches visited
--23 stops including the last one at our home in LA
--numerous hugs (someone asked me a few stops into the trip if I'd considered counting hugs; I thought it was a cute idea, but since I didn't do that I will think of them as the stars--too many to count :) )

We are very thankful to have had this opportunity to thank those who have supported us in the work here in Los Angeles. We are looking forward to getting back to work and to our life here, but please know that we miss all of you and that we would love it if you would come visit anytime!
