Day 2 was a busy but productive day. Unfortunately this blog is coming to you a bit later than expected due to a slight accident with Greg's laptop. Let’s just say, we think the hard drive is somewhere between Oklahoma City and Memphis at a rest stop.
This morning we woke up and drove to downtown Oklahoma City and explored the heartbreaking but extremely beautiful Oklahoma City Bombing Memorial site. This was a touching and moving experience for all of us as we walked and viewed the empty chairs of the 168 who lost their lives that day. GUMY left our stamp on the memorial with decorating the chalkboards located just outside the Children’s Education Center.
We then continued on the road from Oklahoma City to Memphis, TN and arrived just prior to 7pm, Tennessee time. (Greg forgot to calculate the time change – ooops!)
Tonight we are staying at the AMAZING Barttell UMC in Memphis, TN. We continue to have great luck when it comes to staying in five-star churches. This church has everything but a swimming pool! With a youth group of over 250 youth; not to mention the full sized track, racquetball court, 5 story education wing, 3 kitchens, and a Sanctuary the size of a football field - It was extremely impressive, with outstanding air conditioning which we greatly appreciated.
More to come as we move across the nation to tomorrow on our way to Atlanta!
