After a long drive with a stop of in Kansas City for some good food at BD’s Mongolian BBQ we arrived home in Henderson at 9:00 pm!
We left at 7:20 am so that means our return trip took a little less than 13 hours. Not bad considering it took us 17 to get to Atlantic!

Wow! What a day! This morning we spent some time siteseeing! We saw the first place Jesse James robbed, a beach in the middle of Iowa, and a house that belonged to Jeremiah Hitchcock (if you don’t know who he is…you better ask somebody!).
Tonight, VBS went great! The kids learned about Jonah’s prayer from the belly of the whale and made door hangers in class! We also spent some time tonight playing Murder-In-The-Church and Sardines in the church building.

We first met Albert the Bull, a 30-foot behemoth of stone! He looked a little worn from years of being a tourist attraction, but he was still awe-inspiring! Then we made our way to the twin cities of Kimballton and Elkhorn. In Kimballton we paid our respects to a fountain with a mermaid and in Elkhorn we visited a genuine Danish windmill (it was brought here in the 1970s).
Later that day we went door-knocking. We passed out over 200 fliers in a little over an hour. Last night, we had a little girl come whose grandmother had recieved a flier.
VBS went great! We had 11 more kids than the night before. We ended up with 33 kids last night, up from 25 the previous!
