Day 45/Aug 13 -Palos Heights to Chesterton - 77km




We were royal blessed this morning and last night. Trinity College is located in Palos Heights - its a small Christian Univerity and very beautiful. They gave us a wonderful dinner, Jenna and I stayed at a billets house (yay no tent!) and were fed an awesome breakfast in the morning. Thank you very much to the community of Trinity College. Before we went on our way the College had a little service for us. One of our riders - Aaron Carter is a student there. He said a few words that will stick with me and hopefully everyone both on and supporting the tour. He said - it was a great homecoming - but he knew that when he got up in the morning the work was not over - he had to get up and bike. Aaron encouraged us to remember that when we get to Jersey City. The work is not done when we get there - we will go back to our homes, but poverty will not be gone, and therefore our work is not done.Thanx Aaron for that important reminder - our work will not be done until our very end homecoming.
