We finally arrived!!!

After an early morning start we made it into Dallas about two and a half hours later with no problems where we met up with the group from Birmingham. After a quick lunch in the airport we boarded the plane for a three and a half hour plane ride to our final destination, Seattle. As we approached Seattle, the pilot directed our attention to the left side of the plane where we flew right beside Mt. Rainier. What an incredible sight it was!

We made it into Seattle ahead of schedule where we met up with Michael's dad who decided to go on the trip two weeks ago. He is a bit of a traveling missionary man leading numerous trips of his own throughout the year and always looking for a chance to serve. We got delayed a bit getting our rental van but once we got it we loaded the van and were off to the ferry in downtown Seattle. This ride took us right beside Safeco Field and Qwest Field where the Seattle Mariners and Seattle Seahawks play respectively.

It was a long wait onto the ferry yet once again as we finally got aboard the sights were beautiful evidence of God's handy work around us.

We made it to the hotel where the Virginia group finally got to meet Sybil, our adorable little southern leader. We are going to meet and have a little orientation and then we are off to the reservation to start decorating the church for VBS which starts tomorrow.

Please know that due to the fact that we are on Pacific Time we may not get an update for the day by the time you go to bed. Please check back in the morning and you will have the latest info we can give.
