A not so rainy day

I woke up this morning at 5:10 to the sound of pouring rain outside of my room. My alarm wasn't set for another hour, so I went back to sleep, but started preparing myself for a 65 mile ride in the rain. At our daily morning meeting, Mark (the guy who re-routed our path through Minnesota) gave us a shorter route.

Supposedly the wind was going to be going against us the whole way. We got under way around 8:30 and moved to the south. At the time it had stopped raining. By the end of the 56 miles I hadn't seen a drop of rain and the wind was at our backs for about half the ride. It turned into an absolutely beautiful day!

So, now we are half way by time. today was day number 30. We've still got a few days befoerr we get halfway by miles. This evening and tomorrow we're hosted at Bryan's church in New London and we'll be going to the Sonshine music festival this evening and tomorrow to talk to whoever is there and interested in what we're doing.

The festival is a huge Christian music festival, going several days with tons of bands. Supposedly there will be about 25,000 people that come through over the next few days. Should be a great opportunity to talk to a lot of people about YFC. And maybe even share the gospel with people. Please be praying for opportunities. Thanks!
