Here we are, still at the home of Mrs. Conley, who has been taking really good care of us. She is so nice and great to talk to. We're getting ready to leave in about half an hour, but we hardly ever get going when we want to, but as long as we're on the road by 8:30 we'll be happy.

Last night we had a few unexpected visitors: James and Jenny Smith, Pika and her dad (Lee), and Derek. If you've never met them, those names should mean nothing to you, but at least they know who they are and got some exposure. If you do know them you can appreciate how excited we were when they called me and asked for directions to get to the house we were staying at. They camped in the backyard last night while we slept luxuriously inside, but that's one of the sacrifices we'll make for them because we like them. Oh yeah, and they drove 7 hours just to see us, which we really appreciate and is pretty impressive. We'll try to find a campground tonight and make a sweet fire and burn things.

Along with themselves, our friends also brought many gifts from back home-My mp3 player, a new pair of shoes, home-baked goodies (what a treat!), and a sign made by our t-shirt guy, Mark Klatt, to put on our stroller.

Well, Matt's going to start prodding me pretty soon if I don't pack up, so I guess I have to go. I've been working on the much anticipated "10" list, so look forward to that the next time we get wireless internet, which may be in a hotel parking lot.

So keeping praying and checking, we appreciate both.

Brandon
