What Next?

Our cups are full and overflowing...we just finished an incredible day...literally. The day was full of finishing up...the houses were completed and dedicated...and 2 families are now blessed with having a home....as well as 28 people are blessed by the opportunity to serve those families this week. The afternoon was spent walking around Harmons some even hiked to Stick Man's House...and then it was Jerk Chicken Night! The Courtyard time tonight was Send-Off...for us. I have to say it was a blast...I saw so much joy on the faces of my team. Guys with children crawling all over them...(Scott, Mike F. and Justin)....I also saw some dance moves that were quite impressive...(again the same 3 guys...oh, and Andrea) and I saw my team enjoying the people we came here to serve...Laci and Mary Jo were "floured" in the courtyard as we sang Happy Birthday to them (we are kinda thinking of keeping that tradition going stateside!)...it was a great time. We finished our night with a time of reflection and remembering all that God has done...I will let your loved ones share that with you...it was very moving....it was a great day and a great night. This will be our last post...we have many stories to share of what God has done this week and each one is eager to share...so be ready to listen! I will close with a poem that Scott Phillips wrote this week and shared this morning in our devotion time...it pretty much sums up his time here...and we all agreed so much, we had it written on our "hand" that we all signed here to go in the hallway...see you all soon!
