The Journey Begins..

Today, we began our travels. Before leaving, all of the pioneers met with Mr. Y and we had a great time of prayer and last minute fellowship, fun, and pictures before heading out. It was a wonderful meeting, though emotions were high as we faced the sadness of leaving our friends and the excitement of setting out on the journey of our lives this summer. We cannot know what God has planned for each of our lives this summer, but we look forward with great expectation to the wonderful things that He will do! We got out on the road about 9:30 Eastern time, and began our long trip on I-40 headed West! We saw beautiful scenery as we passed through Tennesse, through Arkansas, and eventually into Oklahoma. We are spending this first night at the home of Scott and Pamela McElyea, in Chickasha, OK. They are past Crown graduates and we have had a great, though short, time with them. We are so thankful for their willingness to open their homes and welcome us! Tomorrow morning we will head out again. God willing, we will complete this first leg of our trip and arrive in Flagstaff, AZ tomorrow evening!

In His Grace,

Jen, Hannah, and Rebecca
