Brittany made it to Chicago!!!

Hi to all,

This is the point where I take over for Brittany on her blog site because she doesn't have access to email very often, if at all. She asked me to keep it going. She signed all her thank you cards on Thursday night and it's up to me to get them in the mail this week. Thank you to all of you who have prayed for her and assisted her financially.

Brittany left for Chicago on Friday. Her plane was to take off at 1:30 p.m. but it was delayed for a couple hours. During that time, she was able to start making friends with other Royal Servant students waiting for the same plane. It was really moving to see all those young people at the airport so excited about serving our Lord. As a mother, I was comforted by the fact that Brittany was already making friends.

Her plane took off at around 3:30 p.m. and she called me at 7:15 p.m. (our time) to tell me that she'd made it to Chicago. She only had a few minutes because the bus was leaving for the church they were all sleeping at for the night. Although I haven't heard from her since then, it's my understanding that they arrived last night at training camp in Lewistown, Illinois around 7 p.m. They were late in arriving at camp because one of the buses overheated!! Brittany and all the Royal Servant teams will be at training camp until July 5th. Thereafter, Brittany's team will leave for Europe. She will be doing street ministry in many different places and I will do my best to keep up my end of the "posting".

I haven't heard from Brittany since her plane's arrival on Friday night but I will keep you posted.

God Bless,
Julie
