The first night, what an experience!

Hey all!

We saftely arrived in Chicago last night and the first thing we did was we found an amazing authentic Mexican restaurant!! Most of the kids had fun eating hot sauce on chips and then were "too full" to eat the large helpings of tacos and burritos!

Today we are all off to the park in the morning to enjoy some time with kids there, and then for lunch we will go to another park where the Puerto Rican festival is going on. The afternoon will be filled with carnival rides, treats in the park and new experiences and we will roam the festival until dinner time. Then it'll be time for our second meal with the new cook at GAP community. (She made us pancakes for breakfast!)

The host family, Joe and his wife and kids are all great people and said "Well, we can tell you all aren't shy!" They are looking forward to our week of ministry just as much as we are!

Well, as the kids are now finishing morning devotions, we're off to the park with lots of sunscreen and games!

We'll update again soon!
