One brief evening with Carrie and her friends, Bethany and Dessiree.

Morning:  Left Murfreesboro after some exercise at the YMCA and headed back to Nashville.  Spending some time over hear at Fido catching up on this blog and the task of emails and letters (that we are thankful to have but recognize that it never seems to end).  Then spent a wonderful afternoon with my dear, sweet sister Carrie:  walk around the park, frozen yogurt, sushi making, conversation....

Day One of Support Raising Trip:  I dropped Ruth off at the airport early, early this morning for a work trip to Amarillo, Texas.  After much packing for our three week trip I headed to Nashville, TN to stay the night with my sweet sister Carrie.  Then it is off to Atlanta tomorrow where I'll pick Ruth up from the airport before heading to Gainesville, FL.  Please be in prayer for us as we set to meet as many people as possible to raise the support we need to serve in Seattle!
