Day 31, at Sonshine Festival in Willmar, Minnesota


Today, we had an extra lay-over day so that we could be at the Sonshine Festival in Willmar. This is a big Christian music festival that attracts about 25,000 people. This year, it started on Wednesday night with a free concert by the group Jars of Clay. Some of the groups playing tonight were Superchick, Jeremy Camp, and Third Day. Youth for Christ had a booth in the main pavilion. The riders took turns at the YFC booth meeting with people and passing out cards with information about the ride we’re taking. The picture in today’s blog is the stained glass window in the sanctuary of Peace Lutheran Church in New London, our host church for our stay in the area.

Hi Tom,
Our daughter's wedding went well and we just returned home from 3 days in San Francisco playing tour guide for Lumpoon's cousins from Australia and Thailand. It was a trip of a lifetime for them. I wonder if you could tell me where you will be staying on July 19-20 in Stillwater, MN. My Gideon friends may try to visit you on the 20th.
Pray for continued success and safety.
In Christ,
Dale

Hi Dale: I'm glad your daughter's wedding went well. That's good to hear. Our route in Minnesota was changed so we're staying in Northfield which is about 45 minutes drive south of Minneapolis-St. Paul on July 19 and 20. Feel free to call me on my cwll phone but I'm probably not too close to your friends in Stillwater
