Hello Mobile!

Saturday night was spent in downtown Nashville. We went to laser quest and played two games of laser tag, everyone had a great time, in fact, our very own Shawna Jansen took second place in one of the games (there were about 35 people playing at one time). After laser quest we walked down town and found a great BBQ joint for dinner. It was great to experience Nashville for one night while we made the trip down to Alabama, also, I don't think anyone minded getting off the road for a night and sleeping in a bed rather than in a van ;)

After another long day of driving we arrived in Mobile around five pm on sunday. The weather was beautiful, about 80 degrees! The church we are staying at, St. Paul's Lutheran Church of Mobile, AL is a beautiful church with great accommodations for us. The church members have been so kind and  helpful, showing us what true southern hospitality is like. After settling in at the church we did some light shopping at Wal-Mart and then set out to take a little drive through the University of Southern Alabama (USA) campus. We were shocked to see how large their campus was, especially in comparison to NCC! Arriving back at our "home" for the week we were able to hang out and relax for the rest of the night, everyone agreed it was just great to finally be here and be done driving! Today we are going to Gulf Shores to spend a day at the beach, hopefully get a little bit of sun, and gear up for our busy week of building!
