Update from North Carolina

We made it!  The Lord is very gracious to let us travel so far each year with safety, and so little difficulty.  The van is still running well.  On Saturday, we made it to Louisville without incident, though Kayren was starting to feel lousy.  We got to worship on Sunday morning with Arne and Debbie and family.  Dave Dively preached on Jesus' miracles and preached on the healing of the lady with the 18-year old disturbed spirit.  It was really good.  Then we were able to have Sunday school on the Proverbs, which was also excellent.  We always enjoy worship there.

Sunday afternoon, we went to Brevard to take the girls to the Robinsons so that they could go to camp.  Cousin Anna was there waiting for us.  Other than getting stuck in a very long traffic jam (about 1 hour and forty-five minutes), the trip was fine.  We were tired getting in, and by this time, Kayren was rather ill. 

We were able to visit with the Robinsons this morning, and delighted to see Lorien go to camp.  Kayren was too sick at this point.  We brought her to the Christiansens with us, and will try to get her into a clinic in the morning.  She has a temp of over 102.  

Holly Keister came with us, and made the trip over lots more fun.  She is delightful to have along.  

Now, we just get to rest and relax, and pick fun things to do, like swim in the back yard, stay inside and read good books, eat fun food, chat, sing, and all kinds of good stuff.  We will try and tend to Kayren first, but Lord willing, we can get her some antibiotics tomorrow and she'll start feeling better soon.  

We missed the huge storm in Des Moines last night, but apparently, our basement stayed dry.  What a blessing!  Lord willing, we'll have some pictures soon.
