chi town baby!

We are currently residing ourselves in the heart of downtown chicago. We had a huge discussion on the topic compassion, and mike challenged each of our teams to try it out so our team decided to spend the night at the rescue mission for homeless teens and adults..

nah, im just kidding but it sounded pretty sweet huh?
today we drove into chicago with green team leading riding with mike. because matt has never drivenout of the state of iowa this came as quite a shocker to him. i looked back and the expression on his face was priceless.. there's no other way to describe it but "terrified" now all was good until we were in traffic and an ambulance came and we all got seperated and matt and kristin missed our turn.. now if youve ever driven in dt chicago you know all too well that you can't just pull a u-turn in the middle of an intersection.. ahhah so abot 30 minutes later we were finally all together and we ate at a pizza place and went to the top of a viewing building where we looked out upon the beautiful chicago..

and the cool part was we had a bible study right there 95 stories in the air and we talked about what we need to stay focused on and what our distractions can be, also we had time alone to reflect and determine what we were goin to change.. now havin some good 'ol time with jesus while 95 stories in the air looking out at the sunrise on chicago can be pretty amazing and you can really see God in that.

today we were supposed to post funny videos unfortunately of course our camera doesnt upload it so once again we dont have anything..

we're gonna try again tomorrow people:) thanks for reading.

Good job green team! Matt has driven out of IA, but he hates it every time. This is a good lesson in patience for him and the rest of you all since every one had to go to the bathroom! Keep up the good work!

Green Team, first of all, GO EVA for staying home with all your kids! We're sure Matt misses you all. Matt don't feel bad, you couldn't be any worse than Andy in New Orleans! Have fun on your last day. We look forward to seeing you all on Sunday! Jan and Craig Wood
