We're here, but its been quite an adventure so far!

For those of you following us back home, we wanted to let you all know that we are here safe and sound here in Rapid City, South Dakota. Here's a picture of hail that had accumulated in Denver as part of a storm that hindered our arrival last night. We were diverted in route to Denver to Colorado Springs where we had to wait an additional 3 hours because of continuous severe weather in Denver. Eventually, we were able to take off from Colorado Springs and arrive in Denver around 10:30. When we finally got there we were sure we had missed our connecting flight to Rapid City but later found out that they were holding a flight for us. So of course, our gate was all the way on the opposite side of Denver's massive terminal, which required our team to sprint across the airport to catch our flight. We received many cheers from others in the airport along the way. We eventually landed in Rapid City and arrived at Bible Fellowship Church at about 1 a.m!! Thank you for your prayers for safety along the way, we are thankful for God's provision and excited to be here at our destination! We will post some pictures of our first day in Rapid City and some interesting things we have seen here.

Signing off for now,
