We're here...almost!

17 out of 21 members of the group has arrived in Texas. Because of the massive snowstorms around the country last week, many travel plans had to be adjusted. Three of the people we are still waiting for were dedicated enough to drive up to Manchester, NH early this morning to catch a flight to Austin and drive the remaining four hours. This is a group that really wants to be here.

Everyone who has arrived is settling into our very comfortable living quarters at a Disciples of Christ Church in Texas City, Texas. There are bunk beds, a tv to keep up with the Olympics, and a kitchen that comes with ice cream! Those who roughed it at other locations on past trips have huge smiles on their faces.

Tonight we are going out to dinner and getting to know each other before learning more about our jobs for the week with Peter, our "chaperone" at the church. The excitement level is high and we are all excited to be here together.
