I wrote this letter last night with intentions to mail it on Monday. However God has blessed me with a place to stay and an internet connection on this, my second night. The letter is as follows:
Dear Friends and Family, God willing, by the time you read this letter, I will be well on my way. But as of now, June 2nd, it is the fist day of my journey.
I will try not to bore you with endless details and a play by play of the weather; but it is important to know that today it rained. And only as soon as I set up my tent for the night, was it accompanied by its sisters thunder and lightning.
I met some delightful people today, who fed me as we talked on their lawn. However, my zeal to keep moving did not let me tent there. Right now, I am on the lawn of a very uncongenial couple whose frowns make me more lonely than I ought feel.
I cried tonight as I found $20 secretly stashed in my bible (thanks mom). The tears were not a surprise and I'm sure they won't be the last. I had just hoped that I could've lasted a few more days without them.
I think it was the realization that the uncongenial couple would not have let me use their phone if I'd asked. Making this the first night that I actually can't call home.
I miss you all already!!!
Christopher Andrew.
P.S. For those of you following my course. I left Brainerd going south on county road 45 and I am now at its intersection with county road 49.
