Sunday night we met up with pastor Alex Cobb (Below) from Bettendorf Christian Church.  He is a great guy, and they are doing some really cool things at their church.  In fact just recently they canceled service on a Sunday and had almost all of their congregants involved in service projects around their city.

The next morning we had breakfast with Ted and Janet Brown and their family.  They went to Parkcrest in the 90s, and so we have a lot of friends in common.  They were really nice, and we were thankful to meet up with them.

We stayed with a guy named Kasey (middle below) who lives downstairs from Brian and his wife Hannah (left below).  They were all real nice, and we got along great with them all.  Ryan and I both said it would have been nice to stay longer, cause it felt like we were old friends.

When we left Bettendorf Kasey wanted to ride with us, and we welcomed his comany for the first half of the ride.  When we got into Illinois we noticed a bolt had broken off my highway bars, so we had to stop and fix it.  At first we tried to fix it ourselves, but the bolt wouldn’t budge.  So we took into a shop that was nearby, and they were able to get the broken bolt out, and put a new one in.

Kasey was a fun guy to hang with, and very generous.  We might get to meet up with him again when we come back through the Chicago area.
