Day One



We arrived safely in Avondale, AZ around 11:30pm. It was still over 80 degrees when we landed...which was kind of a shock to the systems of these Minnesotans. Our flight was uneventful, which is good. We were slightly delayed in Minneapolis, but otherwise things went splendidly. I was incredibly impressed with Northwest and how they checked us in as a group...extremely efficient. (shocking, I know!) We drove to our hotel and got all checked in and went straight to bed, as we have a big day ahead of us. There's a lot of excitement within the group, and I'm really praying for a real focus and drive for our team. We have the awesome opportunity to be a blessing to Pastor Chris, Coldwater Church, and the community of Avondale. Please join me in praying that we stay focused on why we are here.

Hi All, glad you made it safe and sound.We are glad everything went well. That is amazing in this day and age of horror travel stories. Must be you all look so clean cut and pleasant.
We are praying for you daily and sometimes many times a day. We want God to use you to glorify Him as you encourage those you came to help. We also want each of you to grow in your faith and walk with Jesus. Come home full of the blessings of God!! Nothing could be better!!! My thoughts and prayers, Joanne (grandma "Jo")
