The GUMY Mission Group departed from Grace UMC this morning shortly after 7am, and began our longest leg of the trip, spending almost 12 hours in the van! Needless to say, that led to a lot of laughs, giggles, group bonding, and Canadian Bacon, AKA 'Ham'. (we will have to explain later)
The long Kansas roads just kept going... and going... and going... which resulted in numerous needed emergency potty breaks. We discovered the Wesch family has quite small bladders. With a very special thanks to "Dahlia" we finally made it to Oklahoma City, or in her terms "OK 3!" - after taking a tour of south Denver. (ask Maggie about that one.)
We are very lucky to be staying in Chapel Hills United Methodist Church where many of the youth were excited to see Credit Card vending machines, not to mention free cappuccinos. Chapel Hills is a VERY large church, and has been extremely welcoming to the group.
Tomorrow we look forward to visiting the Oklahoma City Bombing Memorial Site as well as heading to Memphis, TN to play in the Mississippi River, visit the Peabody Hotel and Mudd Island. This will obviously lead to numerous photo opportunities and good stories to come.
Dahlia has now been put to bed along with the rest of GUMY...
