Day one began very early and ended very late. The day went very smoothly and without interruption. We thank the Lord for His watch care over us as we traveled and managed to stay on schedule.
We departed SBC at 5:00 AM and pulled into Wichita Falls around 11:15 AM for a quick lunch. After lunch we were back on the road and arrived in Amarillo at 4:00 PM, right on schedule! After freshening up quickly and getting room assignments we were back on the bus for a short 30 minute trip to the Palo Duro Canyon.
Once at the canyon we set up for a pre-show concert and enjoyed a fabulous steak dinner prepared by the world famous Big Texan. We were blessed for the second year in a row to be able to present a pre-show concert to the guests as they were arriving to see the outdoor musical presentation of "Texas".
Our students were simply amazing. This was probably one of the best "first concerts" we've ever done while on Mission Tour. Following the concert we were bombarded by people commenting on "those wonderful young people". Their lives, their faces and their voices were used as living testimonies to Jesus Christ and his immeasurable love. We enjoyed the presentation very much and were finally back at the hotel around 11:30 PM.
A very quick night, a delicious breakfast and a very cool morning set the stage for a great day 2. Yesterday we traveled 586 miles from Spring to Amarillo and today we will travel 564 miles from Amarillo to Montrose. We know that the Lord is with us and know that He will use us to His glory in many ways, some we're not even aware of. Please continue to lift us up as we travel and as we minister in Jesus' name.
