I've Arrived in Indiana!

Hey everyone! Well, this marks the first blog entry in my Keynote Summer Project blog. I'm really excited to be able to share my summer with all of you who are or have supported me financially, through prayer and love. It's going to be an incredible summer, and I can't wait to see what God is going to do. Thanks for following along!

So I arrived in Indiana last night just before midnight. The flights were good, except for the extra one hour delay in Dallas-Fortworth airport. Apparently, something was wrong with the airplane, so we after waiting for 45 minutes to board, we hear, "Flight 1996 to Indianapolis. We're going to moving you to a different plane. So please make your way down to Gate A38" over the loud speaker. We were at Gate A9, so that was fun. :) But all in all, it was good that we didn't have to fly in a plane that might crash.

My aunt, uncle and cousins Christina and Andrew picked me up from the airport. I got to see Christina in December at the San Diego Winter Conference, however I haven't seen Andrew in close to four years, so it was super exciting to see them. We all headed back to the house, and Christina and I spent a ridiculous amount of time catching up.

Church this morning was really great. Andrew was playing in the worship band, as was Jessica Russo, (another Summer Project kid. She'll be in the band "Young Isaac" this summer). The message was all about living in a way that passes on your faith. It was encouraging to hear right before we begin this incredible summer sharing our faith with others.

After church we went to an awesome Mid-West BBQ place called "Big Hoffa's". It was delicious. I could get used to eating like this all summer. Pulled pork sandwich? I think so. :)

Here are some pictures of the Fackler's backyard, and some pictures of Indiana skies. I hope it gives you all a feel for how beautiful it is here. 

We then went to Indianapolis proper to go visit JD, my other cousin, and his wife Joy. I'd never met Joy and they just had a precious baby boy. His name is Caleb Fackler. :) He's absolutely adorable. The top picture is Joy Fackler holding him, and the bottom one is me.

 

That's pretty much the gist of today. Currently, I'm watching Sherlock Holmes with my family and eating pizza. Mmmm...

Tomorrow the actual project starts, so there will be much more to talk about. I'm so glad to be here, and I can't wait to share this incredible journey with all you. Thanks for reading! :)
