it's about time for a tailwind

Well, we just gotta say it, we love Iowa. Iowa is seriously an endless array of cornfields and not much else, but we can honestly say that the people here are noticeably warmer than those in Nebraska. The truckers even wait patiently behind us until it is safe to pass! We have also experienced a significant upgrade in road conditions which is making our bums much happier. Why anyone would want to live in Nebraska is a mystery to me.
So, we started the day off in a torrential downpour. Well that is a lie, but it was the most rain we have hit all trip. It made the day nice and cool, but it also made our feet unpleasantly wet. What was anticipated to be an unbelievably long day turned out to be actually a great day for many! We fought manya fewer hills today and we were also accompanied by our long lost friend, the tailwind. As noon rolled around, the rain cleared up, the sun peaked out from behind the clouds and the wind picked up at our backs. What a phenomenal combination! Once again we see God is truly looking out for us here. : )
Well, the only downside to the day is that Denise and I had to set up our tent for the first time in seven days. We were going to see how many consecutive days we could go with out putting it up. Sadly enough, this elementary school has no suitable room for us to set up bed. You see, whenever there is opportunity to stay inside a school, church or other form of building we take it, no questions asked. While some may call this lazy, in actuality it is genius. No energy wasted putting it up or taking it down. Just using our resources.
