Arrival time

We're back on the road again. The earliest that we would likely be back at the church is about 6:00 pm. However, that is barring any further problems with the bus.

Coming home

Having bus troubles. The bus is overheating. We have the heater going - it's like a sauna in the bus. They're trying to get another bus. Taking a break in the beautiful metropolis of Buttonwillow to let the bus cool down.
