Home Sweet Home after 1406 Miles

I arrived home safe and sound Thursday afternoon after 1406 miles (the odometer started at .09). So good to be home and to see Nancy and all the Burns family. Thanks for all the prayers for my safety and well being. I had great weather the whole trip and was able to see lots of Oregon and family and friends along the way. I hope that you have enjoyed the pictures. Thanks especially to Janci for doing the blog to keep all interested people informed. Thanks also to all of those of you that have pledged to support the scholarship program at Stayton Christian School.

All For God's Glory

The whole reason for Tour de Faith is to raise funds for tuition assistance at Stayton Chrisitian school. These funds will be used to assist families that desire to give God all the glory even through their children's education.

Phone Call from Crater Lake

9-12-2009

Poppa J called from Crater Lake. He spent the previous night in the campground there, but because he didn't have a reservation, he had to "beg" a bit of space from some of the campers already there.

Lots of opportunities to share about his adventures along the way is a highlight of his trip.

Planning to meet Granna in Sutherlin at an old friend's house on Sunday night, Poppa J is drawing closer to home. Please pray for Granna as she travels on Sunday.

Dear Janci & Family,

Well, I am in another state. . .Idaho! In another time zone, Mountain Time!! I lost an hour so everything took longer. Every time I check the clock, I have to remember it is behind one hour. I suppose when I get back into Oregon somewhere I will gain an hour back.

Will be in Jordan Valley tomorrow.

Love,
Poppa J

Dear Family,

Hope all is well with you! Had a good night at El Dorado Campground last night. No cost and nice facilities.

I got extra water at Unity so I would not have to worry about water. Cattle country can cause the water to not be good and I didn't want to take any chances.

Will be in Ontario tonight and hope to send a disk with pictures.

xoxoxoxo,
Poppa J
