Day 4 (March 25th)

Hello everyone!  Another successful and blessed day.  Thank you for all of your continued prayers and support.  Mike and I really appreciate it.  It is truly amazing to see God’s work being done w/ the accomplishments thus far. 

Today’s ride was rough!  We faced a pretty brutal headwind for a large portion of our trek. 

THE RIDE:  After a delayed departure, we rolled into ISU around 2 pm.  There we were greeted by some solid FOCUS missionaries, as well some stellar students from ISU.  We also had the privilege of seeing the Brock Perkes. (making a surprise visit from Decatur)  After a wonderful lunch, we continued on the difficult journey and finally rolled into Bradley at 6:15ish pm. 

AFTER THE RIDE:  At Bradley we were greeted by family (Uncle John and my cousin Megan), as well as Jared from the Catholic Post, Fr. Brownsey, some more stellar FOCUS missionaries, and some solid Bradley students.  After a delicious meal, I had the opportunity to visit with my Godmother.  It was great blessing to see her!  Please pray for her (specifically for strength and healing).  We finished out the day celebrating the Feast of the Annunciation w/ Fr. Brownsey presiding.  All and all, in was an action-packed and fun-filled day.

Total miles for the day = 114 miles.  Total mileage = 424 miles.  We will be venturing on to Dekalb tomorrow.  Mike (navigator and weatherman) informed me that we’ll be looking at a little tailwind for a portion of our ride.  (Very exciting!)  Please continue to pray for the success of our efforts, as well as pray for a greater respect for LIFE!

St. Sebastian -pray for us, St. Christopher -pray for us, St. Michael -pray for us, Mary, Queen of Victory -pray for us

God bless! -J
