Hello brothers,
I just wanted to drop you all an update and give you all thanks for your continued prayers for our trek to Minnesota.

The man who founded Boys Town is a huge inspiration and reminder of what kind of lasting work can be done when our Savior is on our side.

Upon arrival we have had quite a few challenges.
