Well, I am at a computer where I don't have the ability to post pictures, so this update will just be written.
Our family left Baker City, Oregon Sat. at 5 AM. We were supposed to leave Friday, but we grossly underestmated the time it would take us to get finished with all the little things we had left arounded the house. There was no way that we could clean the house as well, but our friend Savannah is trying to raise money to go on a missions trip this summer, so we hired her to get what we couldn't.
We made it to our friends house in Huntsville, UT around 3 in the afternoon.
Quick story about our friends...Grant was my youth pastor when I was 16 in So. Oregon. He and his family moved to AZ to be a youth Pastor there. My first trip that I ever made on my own was to visit his family. It is one of the best memories that I have. I haven't seen this family since then...so, it has been over ten years...yet the minute I saw them again it was like no time at all had past. Jen and Isabella were welcomed in and I felt right at home. We had a great time there and our only regret is that we had to leave sooner then we wanted to...
We left there Monday at 4 AM. We knew that this leg of the trip ws going to be the longest one. Map-Quest put it at 11 hours, and that isn't taking into account a potty-trained two year old...We got here in McCook, Nebraska at 6 PM...long day. Our friends here were "Hall Neighbors" at New Tribes Bible Institute for two years. Again the same issue of not really seeing them for 3 years and feeling at home once we are here. I think that there is something special among the Christian community world-wide.
We are leaving here tomorrow, (Wednesday) in the morning and will be heading to some more friends in Wichita, Kanas. Please keep us in your prayers as we are traveling. Our car has been great pulling our beast of a trailer so that is a blessing! When I get all set up in MO, I will have to post a pic of our car and trailer...
Well, that is it, I don't know when I will be able to update next but I will try to as soon as possible.

Hi Justin, Jennifer, and Isabella!
We are already missing you bunches. Thanks for spending some time with us before you left, even with your busy schedule of preparing to move. Also, thanks for the tip on Blogging! We started a blog this week and it's kind of fun! It'll take a bit to get into doing all the formatting and all, but should be a fun thing to do. We are at: http://clementjonleanne.blogspot.com/ Well, looking forward to hearing from you and how all your travels went. Lots of love, Jon, Leanne, and Sammo
