Day 3

Well hello everyone,
Praise the Lord for all that He has done so far. It is finally sunny after two days and three nights of getting rained on. The Lord has protected us so far (thanks for all the prayers) even though we have ridden on a couple of freeways on accident already. Getting through Portland was one crazy maze, but thanks the gps we made it. We are now at the library Hood River, Oregon, eating some tuna on tortillas and waiting for the gps to get charged.
God has really been blessing our daily devotions that we are having each morning before we start. Yesterday we read 1 Timothy 4:12 which says, "Let no one despise your your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, on conduce, on love, in spirit, inn faith, in purity." Nathan's and my desire is for this to be true throughout our trip.
We have met met a couple of people along the way. The first day we met Frank who lived in Longview, Washington. He had not driven a car and only ridden a bike for the last four years. He was very excited for our trip and he wanted to be able to drop everything and go along with us. Today we talked to a cigar smoking forest ranger for a while. We have yet to have any deep conversations with others but we are still asking God for the opportunity and the boldness to share Gods love with others.
Well thanks for all the prayer and we will try and keep you all posted as soon as we have internet again.
