Trapped in North Dakota

So here we are stuck in North Dakota. This morning we all loaded up in the vans nice and early as we planned to head out and get some good travelling in for the day. We knew the roads were not in great condition but we prayed and off we went hoping we would make it through the storm. Not so much! We got into

Minot and that was as far as we were going to make it The roads are closed and only a few trucks were heading through. We decided to bunker down for a bit the weather is predicted to subside around 6 PM so we are sitting waiting around in the vans trying to keep busy. We went into one corner store and asked the teller man if ice cream was half price here like it is back in Canada on a snow day. He didn't appreciate the humour as much as we did. There was a random crazy carpet in the van so the girls went tabboganing for a bit while Flo, Tim and I went around trying to find people to push out of the snow. There are cars stuck in 3 feet of snow in major intersections all over with pure ice underneath. After sitting in the van from about 11:30 untill 1:30 killing time talking in accents and and watching puppet shows by the girls we got spotted by some locals. They were connected with a Lutheran Brethern School/church and saw the Canadian Lutheran Bible Institute sticker on the side of the van and decided to try to get us into the building to hang out untill we can get going. Talk about a devine appointment. Thanks God! Now were sitting around hanging out and having fun. The girls are playing basketball and volleyball in the gym and we have a TV internet and even a coffee pot. Life is good. Well time to go here's to hoping well make our miles today.

God Bless

Thanks for the Prayers!
