Day 1

Today we finally left to begin....whatever it is God has planned for us. Travel took a little while and two separate sets of kids got on our train for field trips (such loud children) but we didn't miss any trains so can't complain. I'm so glad we've finally left, the planning for getting down to St. Louis and to our host family's house was pretty in depth but we're here at last. We've met a lot of challenges throughout the planning of the trip but I want to hope that it's because God has something really awesome planned for the 13 of us. Training begins Saturday so today and tomorrow are going to be a chance to catch up on some rest (which we really need cuz most of us are running on 3-6 hours of rest haha). Today I experienced white castle for the first time and it's pretty legit, and so unhealthy, yum sliders.
