DAY 78 AUGUST 3 HOME

Day 78. We said our goodbye's and headed for home around 10 a.m. We arrived in St. Louis around 2:30 p.m. Our house, both inside and out, looked in good shape thanks to the attention of our two sons, Nate and Ben. We unpacked the car and immediately turned around and went grocery shopping. We then prepared supper for Nate and Abby, and Ben was able to stop by while on patrol. Abby brought by our our mail and financial records from her bill paying, which she did for us while we were gone. We have a mountain of catching up to do, but it feels good to be home!

This will be the final entry of our Intoafarcountry blog. Thank you for following along on our adventure. Thank you for your words of encouragement in the comments. Thank you for your prayers and good wishes and we went on this great adventure. For the record, we were gone 78 days. Our mileage for day 78 was 258 miles, which brings to total mileage for the trip to 12,002 miles. Other than two flat tires we had no car problems. We met many wonderful people and saw God actively working in strange and woderful ways. We take many wondeful memories of this trip with us which will undoubtedly change us as we move forward. Who knows what God has in store in the future? That is an appropriate thought for everyone. Stay tuned...
