We are now on Day 10 of Ride Across America and we have been overwhelmed by the generosity of our hosts in the communities we have visited. We have enjoyed and eaten more food than is probably legal. We have been treated to potlucks, chicken dinners, pancake breakfasts, and sack lunches that could feed a crowd three times the size of ours. People have taken us, strangers, into their homes and we always leave town feeling like we have a whole new group of people on this adventure with us.
We have had an opportunity almost every night to share about why we are doing this. We have been given some gifts by churches, individuals, at the gas station and by a darling 12 year-old girl, who not only gave us her $18 to go toward the projects, but moved us with the worship song she wrote and played for us on her guitar before we left town.
We are now on the second leg of our journey. We left the beautiful mountains of Washington, not thinking it could get any better, only to discover that God decided to add lakes and rivers among the mountains in Idaho, making them different, but incredibly beautiful. We are now in Montana--the state we will spend the most time in--and going through more mountains, and again they look different. What a spectacular, creative God we have.
The team is all in good health and good spirits. Today we had a record six flat tires--five of which were on one bike. Despite that, God has been good and our problems have been minor. Please continue to pray for safety, and that God would be honored and glorified through this trip.
