Pictures of a day in Girard, KS

We decided to go for a swim at the town pool! The boys have been wanting a diving board for a long time and we finally found one. 


We don’t often have good wifi, but when we do the boys like to reconnect with the world 🙂 

The church invited us to the potluck they were having tonight just prior to their committee meetings. The food was great and we enjoyed speaking with a few of the church members about our bike trip. 

A view of the sanctuary down the center aisle from the pulpit. The church dates back to 1869 but this current building was built in 1888. The original wooden barn-like building was literally blown away by a cyclone in 1886.
Forrest can’t keep his hands off a piano. Whenever we see one he just has to play it 🙂

Our sleeping quarters–right by the AC vents 🙂

One of the church members who showed sincere interest in our bike trip was an elderly lady named Joan Humble. She was genuinely glad that we’d not only stopped in Girard but that we’d sought out assistance from her church. She asked many questions about our travels and said she’d love to take the trip if she could… She ended up giving me her address and asked me to send her a note letting her know we made it home safely. I’m sure she’ll be praying for us until we do 🙂 

Thanks for praying and thanks for following. 

Until next time… 🙂
