The team, minus three, left the mountain at 4:15AM heading to the airport in Guatemala City.  Their flight is not until 9:00AM but the traffic in the city a bit later in the morning can be very congested.  So, we tend to err on the side of caution and get folks to the airport with plenty of time to spare.

Don Redder reported last night that the medical folks saw nine hundred ninety eight folks during this trip.  Dr. Mark Stid rounded that number to twelve hundred!  Thanks to Laurie King for coordinating all of the medical clinics as she does a very nice job.  Lives were impacted for the good by this group of caring individuals.

The building team had a great day of dedicating the twenty houses built during the week.  Thanks to each person who provided the funds to make those houses a reality.

Terri Scholz has cleaned like a million teeth this week.  She has been a real trooper.  That has been her life each day of the trip.

The team had a nice share time last night and another trip is now in the books.  It was a really, really great group of folks.  Great attitudes.  Great work ethic.  Greater God!

As this team departs, another one will be boarding planes later today in Grand Rapids, Phoenix, Huntsville and Mobile.  They will all meet in Atlanta and then board a plane heading to Guatemala City.  Pray for both teams traveling today.

By the way, they are moving dirt on the mountain in preparation for building the school building.
