We made it! Thursday night we arrived at the Mercy Ships headquarters, nestled in East Texas between Van, Garden Valley, Lindale and Tyler. Here are some pictures we took between then and now.

The rain to sleet to ice to snow did make for gorgeous scenery though.
Here's the view from out our dorm window - not too many cars in the parking lot this morning- even the schools were two hours delayed due to the weather.... more about the schools in the next post! Stay tuned!!
