Greetings! On Thursday, June 13, 36 ringers and 8 chaperones left Salt Lake City for the first leg of the 2013 Wesley Bell Ringer Tour. We drove around 600 miles from SLC to Ogalalla, NE. It was a long bus ride day, but we established our routines, saw a couple of states, enjoyed a spectacular thunderstorm in Ogalalla.

The loading crew had a tough job figuring out exactly where to put all the equipment and luggage.

Parents were excited, anxious, and happy for their kids!

Terry gives the choir members a send off before meeting the choir in Chicago on Day 3.

Pastor Jean prays for the choir and also leaves us with a great treat bag!

There are a lot of flat miles in Nebraska.
