Getting Around

Our friend John picks us up in the morning and takes us to the Wycliffe office. He then takes us home at the end of the day. On Tuesday and Wednesday this week he has picked us up in the evening and taken us to and from a food court where we can get supper. Eight of us can fit into his truck.
