It Didn't Happen

Since I'm posting again today, we obviously didn't make the trip to Dundee this morning. I'm disappointed for a couple of reasons. One, I really want to talk with Pastor Ron and get his take on the rally idea. And two, this is the second time I've had to call him and cancel, which I absolutely hate doing. But there's only so much that can be done when people get sick, and today, another member of the Spring Arbor team came down with something, so three of the four either are currently sick or have been sick at one point. Not a lot of fun. Since my plans changed today, I went with Brian to meet with Pastor Johnathan Goosen, a former rugby player who is now a pastor of Burdell Wesleyan Church. We talked with him about getting as many pastors as possible to attend the Willow Creek Leadership Conference broadcast the first weekend in October. He was all about this idea and had already invited all of the leadership in his church to come. The meeting went great and we came up with a gameplan for making this happen. Brian and I left this meeting very encouraged. Then, we went to many various places working to get the car that we bought a couple of weeks ago registered in our name. This is being taken care of through the dealership, but since we're not from around here, the process gets a bit complicated. We spent a good portion of time working to get everything settled for that and dropped all of our info off at the dealership, so hopefully everything will be taken care of. From there, we went to a local sports shop and I bought myself a bike. It's actually the community bike until the rest of these people have had enough and decide to spring for one. I really haven't gotten much (read, any) exercise since we've gotten here, so I took the bike out for a spin today. Even though it was pretty cold (I'm guessing in the ballpark of mid-50's), I thoroughly enjoyed the ride. Tomorrow, I'm taking the team to a hospice with one of the ladies who lives at the seminary.
