Coast to Coast: California to Maine

Well, we have officially trekked across the whole of continental United States in three weeks.  I can't believe we've been on the road for that long--it feels like 3 months.

Our shows this week have been riddled with minor pains such as broken sound, awkward set-ups, and our first two-screen set-up.  The worse is over, which was going from one school to another within a very narrow window of time.  God went before us, and His angels were with our hands, feet, car, and equipmetn, and we thankfully pulled it off with His help.  It wasn't perfect, but it was still good.  And the best part is that it is over!


We are in Sanford, ME just hanging out with Kris' family.  We are again being very spoiled--food is goooood!  The girls, including mom, went to Portland, ME for the day to take Jack (our van) for an alignment and to get a balding tire replaced.  I bought 6 soundtracks and a few shirts--all of which I didn't need! (Well, maybe the music.  I always need music).


I have nothing too interesting to say, but I felt I have been neglecting my journal for all both readers I might have! haha.  I am having a blessed time.  Connecticut and Maine are so beautiful--some leaves are changing, and it is a wonderful sight to behold. 

Also, couchsurfing is amazing.  My other ingenious plan is to email churches in the areas we will be going to and emailing our prayer requests while we go into their community and chidlren's schools, as well as possible lodging for the night.  So far, we have a pastor and his wife hosting us next Wednesday in Lusby.  The pastor is also having some of the students from the school we will be doing our show in the next morning come over for ice cream!  So cool.  I'm hoping we'll get more offers to stay with church people--fellowship is beautiful.  But the couchsurfing friends I've made have also been amazing in their own way--fellow travelers are always good for exchange of knowledge and adventure stories.  I have a goal to get an entire 4 weeks straight of free accommodations--all things are possible with God!

Good night, dear void.
