Finally, we've arrived! Our plane in Detroit was delayed two hours but we would have had a 4 hour lay over in Huston (thus being a 2 hour lay over). Our team is as follows...

Marge and Cori

Nique and Jim

Hooty and his amazing zipper bookbag... don't get him talking about this thing unless you want to be whisked away to the magical land of 20 minute travel luggage talk. (ha ha, just kidding buddy!)

Here is a bad picture of Lauri and I.... dang backlight!

This is Tim... Jim is working on a nickname for him... more details to follow...

Here is the view from the plane as we approached the city... And now it's time to start suffering for Jesus!

This is our barely tolerable living conditions...

It's so tough doing God's work... Ha ha, in all seriousness we got the hook up compared to last year. A couple joined the church last December who are from Columbia... I'm pretty sure they are not drug runners but the jury is still out on that one. They are in Texas today and are coming back tomorrow. The girls are staying with Allen (picture to come) and Hooty is staying with Isaac (picture also to come). You might thing we'd be jealous of Hooty having his own place but the word on the street is he has something of a snoring problem so maybe we are the ones who lucked out!

This is the view from our room. We are 10 stories up... you can see the famous Sattle Mountain in the top left and the city's coolest suspension bridge off the right. There is a chance they just want to be as cool as Toledo.
And now the real work begins!

I mean.... the work begins first thing tomorrow! Siesta anyone?
Well, it's off to dinner. Thanks for everyone who prayed for us. No sign of bad weather "Dean" yet. Tomorrow we will help with the church service. Later!
