New York, New York

We left Michigan this morning at 2am! Chuck took a nap beforehand and I actually stayed up until around 12:30 then tried to sleep, but that was ok since I slept in the truck. I took over driving around 8am but only drove for a couple of hours, I was just really tired. Then Chuck took over driving the rest of the way. We stopped just before getting into New York at a scenic overlook – our last look at trees for about a week. Unless of course we make it into Central Park during the week.

We met Pastor Ramos and I love how when God brings people together they just get along! He is such a wonderful man of God and I am really excited to see what God has in store for all of us working together this week. We were introduced to NY by making sure to bring in all our stuff from the truck so as not to tempt anyone to break into it! So we brought everything in and got our room organized then we walked a couple of blocks to a pizza place and had a slice of pie. Ahhhh New York pizza!

Pastor Ramos gave us his testimony and I would love to have it on video. Maybe I’ll ask him to do that for me later. I love hearing testimonies and seeing how God has and continues to work in lives. Pastor kept saying “what are you guys doing here and what is God bringing us together for?” Great question and one I know God will show us as the week progresses.

Tomorrow is church service at 11 then the week begins with "street ministry". I don't have any idea what exactly that means, but God is in control and I praise His holy name for being here right here and now!

PS-Happy 4th of July. Tarrin would love to get into the crowds and see the fireworks but I think we'll just explore the neighborhood tonight.
