Hey everyone... we are happy to report that after 21 hours in the van, 7 stops accounting for just under 2 hours of the trip, we arrived about 7 PM home time / 6 PM local. We haven't yet added up the gallons of gas we purchased but I'm sure it will be a lot. Everyone is in good spirits and feeling well. We got a good rest last night, got up for a leasurely morning routine, took showers, went to church, got lunch, took a tour of the devistation and are now preparing to go out for dinner. The tour was very moving. We stopped and prayed at a memorial in biloxi, saw what was left of a bridge that was demolished by the storm, and so much much more. All that to say, we arrived safely. Keep us in prayer. Work begins tomorrow.
