Helloooo. Today Emily and Phoenix made the journey back to Joplin, leaving at five in the morning, Indiana time. Emily's dad was was too kind in driving while Emily and Phoenix slept. Only to turn around and drive back to Indianapolis that same day. 17-18 hours in a car. That's an amazing dad. THANK YOU!!! Of course, while in Joplin a few of the MOVE event staff had to introduce Jim to the Joplin favorite - Woody's pizza. So yummy.

The rest of the work day was relatively relaxed, now that the trucks are all packed and ready to go. Learning about the week's events, preparing housing, and other miscellaneous tasks. There was also a video camera set up in the conference room all day... we're not really sure what it's for, but a few of the interns had a little too much fun making faces (Wesley and Brandon) or hand figures (Womble) at the camera.

Shout out to Tom and Whitney Nobis for being so welcoming, even though we sometimes scare Ryne. The homemade spaghetti sauce was wonderful. Emnkenz also enjoyed coloring with Ryne and Whitney :) We even got kisses goodbye from Ryne!!

Later was a trip to Target. They were closing though, and we didn't want to rush our decisions on which coloring book to get. So we decided to wait and go back tomorrow. And no, I'm not kidding.

I must just add that the emnkenz team is getting pretty tight, and loving every moment. God has already blessed our unexpected friendship in ways we would have never imagined!

Tomorrow should be interesting - going over personality tests!! Peace out girl scout.
