We have safely arrived! ...well, we've arrived at our home for the next few days, the Best Western in Morton, a neighboring town to Washington. Our drive was wonderfully uneventful, and offered a great chance to meet others in our group. Most were able to join us on the bus, while a few met up with us at the hotel after driving equipment or other cars to help them navigate their varying schedules. One of our group even brought a bobcat to help us make quick work of at least some of our projects!
Our group consists of young and old, men and women, several faith backgrounds, and those of diverse mission experiences. Some of our group have worked with missions before, helping others in need in places recovering from storms such as Katrina or Sandy. Though Washington doesn't have a storm name associated with it, the destruction is every bit as tragic and real to those who lived through it.

Tomorrow, Thursday, is a busy day. We will enjoy breakfast at the hotel at our own pace, then board the bus promptly at 7:30 to head out for our work sites. It looks like we'll be cleaning some of the community parks, so kids can once again be kids, playing games and living life a little more like before the tornado changed their lives.
Thanks for following along, and please keep us in your prayers as we venture out as an interfaith community called to help our neighbors in need.
The Lord bless you and keep you. The Lord's face shine on you with grace and mercy. The Lord look upon you with favor and give you peace. Numbers 6:24-26
