Over the last couple of months we've had several guests!
Unlike this guy who swooped in during a recent rain storm.......
... most of our guests have been friends!
Greg, Nancy and Philip spent a week with us in June...
...and in July, we hosted the 2nd Mission team from LifeBridge Church this year.
We had a great time reconnecting with some "old" friends and we made some new ones, too!
We hiked on Sunday...
...and the team started early Monday morning working hard.
During breaks, they loved on tons of kids!
They shared hygiene kits with boys and girls that needed them...
...and Nicole showed them how to make crosses out of palm leaves!
Old relationships were rekindled...
...and new ones were made!
The pastors met and discussed business...
...but they made time for play, too!
John and I enjoyed catching up on news from home and sharing more about what's been going on here...
He's such a trooper... he still managed to play guitar at the Wednesday night revival service... stitches and all!
Care packages were made...
... and distributed throughout the community.
A big portion of the church's retaining wall was built...
...and the bakery is almost complete thanks to all the hard workers!
Everyone got to check out the market...
...play a little ball...
"Don't ever let anyone convince you that you have no power.... All significant changes in the world start slowly, at a single time and place, with a single action. One man, one woman, one child stands up and commits to creating a better world. Their courage inspires others, who began to stand up themselves. You can be that person." ~ Jones, Haenfler, and Johnson
We are very fortunate to be in community with such persons..... May God bless you all!
P.S. Thank you, July team, for sharing your pictures so I could add to the ones I got for this post! :)
