This blog is going to be SHORT! It is 12:30 AM, Mississippi time, and most of the team is sleeping after an incredible last day of serving on our site in Saucier, MS. We had an AMAZING goodbye with our Habitat crew leaders, and it was hard to actually say goodbye after only serving and getting to know them for four days. The reason why this post is so late in the day is because we also just shared about 3-1/2 hours together, talking about all the life lessons we learned on this trip and how God wants us to take those lessons learned back to our homes and lives in PA. We also had a great time just encouraging each other, and before we knew it... BOOM! It was 3-1/2 hours later. Many happy tears were shed, many hugs were given, many laughs were shared, and many thanks were made to God for an incredible team and an unforgettable week.
Friends and family, please ask us about our trips. Ask us what we learned, what our highlights were, what our challenges were, how our teammates affirmed us, what people we met, what miracles we saw, and what stories we heard that made an impact on us. Ask us about the food we ate, the accents we picked up :), and all the ways we heard God's voice. We could have never been here without your prayers and support, so THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!!!
We fly out in the morning from New Orleans and hope to be back at Daybreak around 8:30ish PM. Most of us will be around Daybreak on Sunday morning, so look for The Shed sauce stains on our lips and come give us hug to say "Welcome Home!" We missed you all SOOOOO much and cannot WAIT to see y'all tomorrow!
