Day 1

Jabwow everyone, 
Yesterday we took off around 10:30 from the church. After driving for a few hours we stopped into a Target to load up on food, water, sweets and sunscreen. After that we rolled over to an In-n-Out for a scrumdiddlyumptious lunch. After our meal, we did a little touring to see the fire damage throughout the area. We explored areas and neighborhoods devastated by the events like Coffey Park where driveways leading to nothing but rubble were abundant. It was a very striking experience. After this we took a short tour of the town of Healdsburg and then checked into Bishop's Ranch, immediately hitting the pool. After spending many hours (I think, I have not been keeping my eyes on any clocks) splashing around, we slid back over to cabin 4 to shower, change, and retreat back to Healdsburg for some dinner. We settled on our meal at Bear Republic and got through the meal with minimal disruption. Upon finishing we drove back to Bishop's ranch in this hulk of a van we have and took a beginner's tour of the area, led wonderfully by Camilla. We mingled with another group staying on the ranch representing St. James' (also in the city) and sat down to discuss the upcoming week. Upon the conclusion of this meeting we moseyed back to the cabin for cards and unwinding from a long day of fun, sun, and establishing dominance. We are excited to start working and thank all those actually reading this for your thoughts, prayers, and support. 

Ryan  💘
