Moving Friends to Texas

This is the Pryor Family, some really good friends of mine.

(Oldest to youngest: Mark & Candi, Audra, Kendra, Shannah, Kayla, David, Leah, Sarah, Jenna)

I just got to help them move their family down here to Fabens, Texas. They are serving in full-time ministry with International Family Missions, working in Juarez, Mexico. I'm staying with them for most of this month, helping them to get settled in. Seven of their kids came with them, so there's a lot to do to get settled!

Check it out! A double rainbow on the day they left! Looks like God's promise to the Pryors never to drown them in ministry, but always allow them to flourish!

Gettin' ready to go...we had two minivans (one pulling a trailer), Big van pulling travel trailer, and big Uhaul pulling cargo trailer!!! Our trip began at 6:30pm on Thursday, June 5th.

I got to drive the big Uhaul from Boise to Moab, Utah. Shannah was my navigator. Woot woot! Here was a treat!...got to stop and see one of my greatest friends and mentours, Russ Anderson, in Salt Lake City on our way through.

We stopped along the way to see Arches National Park near Moab. Pretty cool!

Seein' the sights!

This place rocks!

This little guy is called "Delicate Arch"...glad we didn't break it.

Here's a cool picture of "The Fleet" (most of it)

We only had one "hiccup" on the way down...the Aerostar just decided not to run anymore. We all felt that way at least once or twice, so I guess I can't blame it. Anyways, after a couple breakdowns near Truth or Consequences, New Mexico (yep, it's really a town), it ran fine the last 150 miles.

We finally made it into Fabens, TX at 10:00pm on Sunday, June 8th. The work began...

Here's Leah and Shannah taking care of business.

Unloading the truck. You should've seen the dent Kendra put in my side when she hit me with that box!...j/k

Here's Mark (Daddy Pryor) taking a well-earned rest.
