Quick Note

Good Morning,

Here are two links to news spots from Grand Rapids. The Channel 17 piece was really good, but I can't find the video anymore. I'll post it if we find it. There's also a radio spot on the local NPR station that we can't find. Hope to get it up soon...

We are about to walk out the door to get up to Ludington, Michigan. Jenny and I are celebrating our 2-year anniversary today and I have set us up with a nice place to stay tonight. We will enjoy some alone time and then catch the ferry to Manitowoc, WI tomorrow at 8:00 AM. We plan to meet my brother, who flew in from Belfast, Northern Ireland, and drive to a cabin in central Wisconsin. We'll spend the next five days with my side of the family and then hit the road next Tuesday, July 17th.

We've had an awesome time here in Michigan and it is sad to say goodbye. I met a lot of great people from Jenny's side of the family. A big THANKS to Don, Jan, and Heather Stypula for their hospitality! THANKS to Denny andf Lori for hosting a great BBQ and get together yesterday! THANKS to Dan and Maggie for hosting the Behling-Bahling reunion in Frankenmuth. We got to see the world's largest Christmas store in Frankenmuth and stayed at a neat place with an indoor water park. It was great to see Bill and Laura (Jenny's brother and sister-in-law) and play with the kids.

We are extremely grateful for Bob and Kathy's help in making this trip a reality. They've helped us out so much and they are truly an example to us of what loving family is.

We spread the word about the global water crisis at all the events we've attended in Michigan. Thank you to all the family and friends that have listened and donated. Your support is invaluable and we hope to stay in touch as we head back West. I will be sending in some checks to Thirst Relief and I'm sure we've surpassed the $6,000 mark!! Hope to keep things going and continue positively impacting people's lives. Praise God for His mercy, greatness, and provision!

Lots of love,
Scott and Jenny
