I'm here! But where's that?

Safe arrival... at least to Ripley, WV. We spent last night in Cincinatti, OH. I wouldn't say we slept last night in Cincinatti, b/c we really slept early this morning, not last night. We stayed up and "partied" until 2:00 AM and didn't go to bed until 3:30. We played Ping-pong, Creepsy-Crawlsy-Slam-Bang, Bang-Bang-Bang, Billy-Whoops, and Spoons. All incredibly hard games that do NOT test your intellect. At all.

We left this morning to drive to Ripley, WV. We met the rest of the TEAM at the church that is sending us on the trip. There are 47ish people going. After orientation at the church, we went bowling for a couple of hours, and had pizza and pop. I guess PREACH paid for us, because as far as I know, we didn't pay a thing. After bowling, we came to Brother Paul Pritchard's house. Brother Paul is the preacher who got into the car accident in Cape Verde earlier this year. I posted a few things about him. He is doing better, and hopefully in about 8 weeks, will be able to put pressure on his leg. If all goes well at the check-up on Wednesday, then he should be able to start using his right arm again.

So we are staying at the Pritchard's house until 1:30 tomorrow morning, when we go back to the church to meet up with the TEAM again. The TEAM is kind of spread out. Some people are at the church, so are here at the Pritchard's. etc... Then at 2:00 we'll pull out of here to go to Columbus, OH, where we will fly to Cincinatti, then to Boston, then a 9-hour layover, then a 7-8 hour flight to Cape Verde. A long day. We get in around 4:00 AMish to Cape Verde.

I kind of doubt that I will be able to post anything while in Cape Verde. In fact, I'll probably only call home once while I am there. We'll see. If I can't post, then I'll keep a good journal. Maybe. :)
