2nd Baptist Team Readies to Leave

Here's what we looked like 9 hours ago. Now, most of us are asleep.

The eight of us from Second Baptist left Marion around 3:30 p.m. and Joe and Kara joined us at Benton.

We made it safely to Monee, Illinois, just south of Chicago, around 9 p.m. this evening.

Earlier we ran into rain a few times on the way up, including a severe thunderstorm at Arcola. We pulled off at a gas station and waited out the storm while eating junk food at the convenience store.

Tomorrow we get up and head to O'Hare to meet three more members of the mission team and to fly to Warsaw, Poland.

Keep us in your prayers.
