April 24 - Easter Sunday, A Day of Rest

Happy Easter Everyone.  I trust you all had a great day with family and friends eating ham and all that good stuff.  We went to First Baptist Church of Willis this morning.  Good service and really cool skit type thing by some of the youth.  They darkened the church, turned on black lights and the kids were all wearing white gloves.  They made words, symbols and different designs to a song the choir sang.  Really cool.

When we were walking back to the RV after church, one guy asked if we needed a ride and another car thanked us for coming to their church.

After church we said Thank You to our Aunt Sharon for two weeks of cooking and support and then Dad and Bill took her to the airport in Houston.  While there, they picked up Mona, a co-worker and acquaintance of mine, and she will be with us until Phoenix. 

Shannon, Kyle, Les and I went to the laundry where we had a little scare.  We thought the keys were locked in one of the compartments under the bus but after a little encouragement the bus gave up the keys and all is well.  After laundry we went to find lunch but soon realized something really cool.  Most of the local restaurants were closed to celebrate Easter.  Even the likes of Taco Bell and Sonic were closed.  Way cool.  Pretty sure I would never see that in Phoenix.

So, we ended up at the local Kroger Grocery Store for lunch.  We found a pizza and the ladies at the deli baked it for us.  It was quite tasty.  While Kyle and I were waiting for the pizza to cook and Shannon and Les were wandering; a lady walked by, looked us in the eye and quietly said...."Do you know Jesus."  It was neat and a little creepy at the same time.  The creepiness cam from how it was asked, not the question itself.

Mona is busy making dinner right now and it is smelling pretty good.  I think that is all I know for today.  Tomorrow we have a short day...only 85ish miles.  Until then...Cheers

Shane
