On day three, we drove another 295 miles from Wichita, KS to Wichita Falls, TX.Finally, we are back in the Lone Star State.
Just before getting back into the van after eating, Jordan and Ben often run around trees or play with sticks to get out all the wiggles. Sitting in the van for hours takes a toll on the kids (and parents).
We arrived in Wichita Falls and met the pastor and his family. Pastor Lukas Counterman is sort of related to David...David's sister, Bonnie, married Lukas' younger brother, Simeon. We have been looking forward to getting to know them in a better way. On Sunday, we were able to share our ministry in the services of Messiah Baptist Church.
As always, the kids made friends quickly with the many children of the church.

It got up to 108 degrees throughout the weekend, and provided incentive for the kids to stay in the pool. We had several opportunities for family swim times at our hotel's outdoor pool.We enjoyed our three nights in Wichita Falls and the opportunity to serve and get to know the members of Messiah Baptist Church. We look forward to following what the Lord will do in this ministry by following the church's blog.
Our next leg will be the longest day of our whole trip. From the top of Texas to the bottom. If only Texas was as small as the waffles we ate at the hotel. We appreciate your prayers as we travel and then settle back into our apartment at RGBI. There is much to do once we arrive:
-unpack
-get groceries
-buy textbooks
-clean apartment
-get our brakes replaced on the van
Come back again to read about our final leg of our trip.

We are praying for you and your family as you near the end of your trip to TX. Glad to know that everything is going well so far.
We sure had a great time with you all and pray that some how, some way that God would bring you back through Wichita Falls. We will keep you guys in our prayers (really) as you continue your studies at the southern tip of our nation (not quite).
God's peace,
Keith & Tracy Pond (+5)

I thought maybe Kristi got really creative with those waffles and then read it was at a restaurant. Pretty cool! Hey, speaking of cool. I wanted to let you know it has been about 75 degrees today. Perfect weather, huh? I won't be able to brag about it come winter so I thought I better do it now. Miss you all so much!!
