Nov 22nd: My first blog and not my last. We announced the location of our 2010 Mission Trip tonight. Chicago, IL. A place I have been before on a mission trip. The city where I first learned how to roof and house. A city that we are looking fwd to visiting soon. What made tonight so special was the excitement our teenagers showed about a place they have never been. I for one can not wait.
