A post from on the road.

Hi all, Allie here! 

It was our last day in Jackson today, and at about 3:30 we loaded up the can and left, heading to Atlanta, where we'll stay at a church for the night. This morning before we left we primed a room for Mrs. Ward, a woman who served as a cook with Voice of Calvary for over 20 years. She made banana pudding for us to enjoy this afternoon, and Jessie, Marcel and I helped her with preparing it. It didn't take very long to do, and we were finished quickly (at least it seemed that way in comparison to all the painting we did at Bobbye & Greg's house this week)! 

From there we went to a Voice of Calvary building called "the shop," which is mostly storage and a few offices, for a Southern BBQ that Sam made us. Everything was incredible and was eaten quickly, followed by the delicious banana pudding. John Perkins was there and he spoke to us a bit, but mostly he was "just there to eat!" His grandson was there was well, also named John (called "Big John"). He is currently running the Spencer Perkins Center and is one of the church planters at Common Ground, the church we worshipped at on Sunday. After we left and had said our goodbyes to everyone, we went and cleaned the house before we left. 

(Sam's giant grill that he cooks out of each week!) 

We're out of Mississippi and into Alabama right now, after just stopping at Subway for dinner. And of course, we took all our sweet iced tea with us. May the Lord bless our journey to Atlanta and that we get there safely.
