¡Arriba! ¡Arriba! ¡Ándale! ¡Ándale!

No rest for the weary. Kim and I spent the last couple of days in Fort Mill, SC putting what's left of our belongings in storage and coordinating some office stuff for Bound4LIFE. We drove all day yesterday back to DC, and the kids helped us cram a 7-hour drive into a mere 9.5 hours. When I was a kid, I loved the long family road trips. How could the apple have fallen so far from the tree? So we got in late, and I did laundry until midnight. Now I'm sitting at the airport in Baltimore waiting to board a flight to Sioux Falls, SD via Denver. I'll be in Rapids City this weekend meeting with pastors and community leaders in preparation for our September gatherings. Tonight I'll be meeting again with Gabriel Medicine Eagle. He has gathered leaders from the nine Sioux reservations to meet with us concerning Bound4LIFE and what's going on in September. We are feeling like a gathering in October with the Sioux nation will be critical to initiate what God is wanting to do in South Dakota and the US. Please pray that our time together will be productive.

I return to DC at noon on Monday and promptly pack the truck up to drive the whole family back to Sioux Falls that night. We're relocating temporarily to South Dakota to mobilize the state for September and October. Great doors of opportunity have been opened to us there. We're excited to see what God is about to do.

Well, my flight's boarding. Gotta go.

Wow you are moving to SD. I am going to be moving to South Africa to work medically with AIDS orphans (I have a background in medicine) and I am fufilling the dreams that Lou & Therese put into our hearts to work with orphans. Can you tell the Engles? I miss you all in D.C. and Fort Mill!!! I especially miss my Gracie Pie!!!
