Arizona Outreach Day 2

Hello again everyone. Glad to see so many comments on the previous post. As tradition would have it, the team dined at one of Boron's lovely rest stops for lunch yesterday in the balmy 111 degree heat The team arrived in Kingman, AZ in record time and had dinner at the church. Jason Moog led the evening devo's and surprise guest, Ryan Weber, led music. Then it was off to bed. Today a majority of the group went on one of Tim's secret errands to the Cracker Barrel at around 5am. It was a long night's sleep for Tim. Then it was time to hit the road. In Flagstaff, heavy thunderstorms awaited. Pat Brown met up with the group but the weather sort of nixed the lunch plans. Luckily Devon Dodgen's brother owns a ranch nearby so the team headed there for lunch. The group should arrive on the Reservation around 7pm tonight. Tomorrow will be a pretty laid back day as everyone recovers from the drive and adjusts to the mile-high atmosphere. On Monday the work projects and basketball camp will begin. We will try to update the blog as much as possible so keep checking back for more pictures and updates. Thanks for the comments and prayers.


Cracker Barrel (no sound for some reason???)



More driving.

A giraffe and GPS are essentials.

Some Flagstaff shots.

Hey there everybody! I must admit it's difficult for me to see all these fun pictures and videos of yall having such a blast! I miss you guys a ton and wish I were there with you. On the contrary its GREAT to see God's protection during your long travels shining through. I will continue to pray for safety and protection over every one of you as you arrive at the mission and begin your outreach to the Navajo. I cannot wait to hear more updates from the trip and about all the marvelous works God has in store for you.

Pour out the love and keep it funky fresh,

Your crazy brother in Christ,

~ Cody J.

Wow, you guys. It's great to see your smiling faces despite the 111-degree-temp.(was that in the shade?) and a thunderstorm. We're thinking about you all and we're praying for you. We're missing Dad (Devon) and Bethany. It's been pretty quiet around here.:) Hey, Dad, where's the bb's? Can't shoot anything without ammo. Hi to the Wongs, Jahnckes, Peter and Chris.
