Day 20, in Williston, North Dakota


It's great to have a day to relax, catch up on sleep, and unwind from six straight days of cycling. All of us went to the 9:30 a.m. service at First Lutheran Church in Williston. It was held in the chapel of this very large and beautiful church. The pastor acknowledged our group and said a few words about our trip and mission. After the service, we were on our own until evening. Zack and I went with our hostess, Francis, to a breakfast buffet at the airport. My friend, Jerry Irwin, will appreciate knowing that we had (in no particular order): egg souffle, cinnamon rolls, fruit, french toast, sausage, bacon, biscuits and gravy, and a few other things that I may have forgotten.I took a long nap in the afternoon. At six o'clock, we gathered at the home of Bob and Eleanor, members of our host church, for dinner. We appreciated their screened in porch, particularly because of the horde of hungry mosquitos hovering outside the screens.
