What a Wednesday!

Whew...todays' the tough day during the tour, the "hump" day, if you will! The morning started off nicely with an excellent breakfast at the hotel: waffles, cereal, fruit, bagels, eggs, etc.! We then loaded the bus and headed to Conyers, GA, where we performed for 36 people!!!! My bruh Ryan came through in a big way! We had all the pizza, salad, and watermelon we could handle for lunch and then hit the road to Savannah!
When we arrived at Richmond Hills (a bedroom community of Savannah that was started by Henry Ford) it naturally started to rain....:) The good folks at Richmond Hills fed us a great dinner of hotdogs and hamburgers with fresh fruit, coleslaw and ice cream! Hotdogs have become a ubiquitous meal for us on this tour. Nearly every stop has featured hotdogs in some capacity!
After dinner we performed for the church and had over 80 people in the congregation! The kids sounded great but you could tell that they were tired. Tonight we are going to get at least eight hours of sleep, which is great! The TPUMC group is currently mixing with the youth of Richmond Hills, who are quite boisterous! :)

All in all, we are tired but doing well.

Tomorrow, we load at 8:00 and drive north to Savannah, where we will have an excellent breakfast, have a devotional in Wesley's square (where the Wesley's actually preached and where the first Sunday School class in America was held). Following the devotional we will briefly check out Savannah, grab some lunch and head to St. Simmon's Island, where we will tour the Wesley museum, chill at the beach on the Atlantic and then we've got a gig that night. It's going to be a great day!

Take care and keep us in prayer!
Joe
