GRACE ’11 – 6/23

Thursday, June 23rd, 2011

It is 4:00AM and the team left the mission house about twenty minutes ago headed to the airport.  Teams drag out the door for these early morning flights and I would imagine most of them are asleep as they make that ride.  Pray that everything will go well as they are all scheduled to arrive in their respective airports around 3:30PM today.

This team was great!  Their attitudes were superb!  Their work ethic was second to none.  I was most impressed by the folks from Thelma Baptist and their pastor, Bro. Doug Chappelle.  Those folks reminded me so much of the members of the Friendship family so you know I fell in love with them.  Matt & Anna Michelle Turner from Pascagoula were great too.  Paul Clark worked really hard and cultivated such a great relationship with the children in Alotenango.  Of course, the folks from Friendship were more than a blessing to me!

The team built 20 houses in Alotenango and was able to help build 6 more in San Miguel.  What a joy to work alongside the folks from Tennessee.  We appreciate the opportunity.

Good week!  I hope to see many of these folks back on future trips.  Team members, thank you for enriching my life!  Blessings!
