We dragged<br \/>\nourselves from our beds, stuffed some grub into our mouths, and repacked the<br \/>\nvan for the eleventy zillionth time.  At least it would be the last time.<br \/>\nWe were on the road by 8 am.  By 8:10 we were stopped for a potty break.<br \/>\nWas it going to be one of those days?  <\/p>\n<p>We cruised eastward into South Dakota on I-90, where we were met with<br \/>\nviolent everyone&#8217;s-drifting-all-over-the-road crosswinds.  We plowed onward<br \/>\nbefore stopping to gaze upon the stone faces of past American presidents.<br \/>\nWe crawled along through tourist-infested hills before escaping back to the<br \/>\ninterstate where we set the cruise control and sailed for home.  <\/p>\n<p>Eleven hours later, not long before the clock struck midnight, we arrived<br \/>\nback in wonderful St. Bonifacius, MN.  It was good to be out of the van.  It<br \/>\nwas good to be home.  <\/p>\n<p>This latest road trip took us through deserts and mountains until we reached<br \/>\nthe cold spray of the Pacific ocean where we stayed with Maggie&#8217;s grandma<br \/>\nand had the opportunity to share with her church family there.  We spent<br \/>\ntime in the Cascades with Chris&#8217; sister and her family, and time in Oregon<br \/>\nwith Chris&#8217; brother and his family.  We flew from Portland to Anchorage and<br \/>\nvisited friends and supporters there.  And everywhere in between we met with<br \/>\nothers who have been part of our team.  We were encouraged and blessed by so<br \/>\nmany people and reminded again of how God is using so many of his children<br \/>\nworking together to see the Gospel go forth in Papua New Guinea.  <\/p>\n<p>Just as Chris H. and Chris S. had to lean on each other as they worked their<br \/>\nway further down those cables, we are leaning on so many people who are<br \/>\nsupporting us as we slowly make our way down the cable of life.  Thank you<br \/>\nto everyone God is using to support us and bless us.  <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/?attachment_id=25621\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/files\/2016\/08\/IMG_1964-600x450.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600px\" height=\"450px\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-25621\" \/><\/a><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/?attachment_id=25622\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/files\/2016\/08\/IMG_1870-600x450.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600px\" height=\"450px\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-25622\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><!--Posted by Email--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seven o&#8217;clock in the morning we woke up in Buffalo, WY.
