Before leaving, the team cleaned the house. They wanted to leave it better than we found it. While waiting for last minute details, the team had pop tarts on the porch.

There was time for one more team picture before we left. This is a very special group of people.

We stopped at a Waffle House for “second breakfast” after we were down the road a way, and late in the afternoon we stopped in Memphis at a BBQ place to meet John for a late lunch / early supper. It was great to see John! He has been a mission team member in the past and we look forward to his joining us again when he is able.

Where ever we stopped, the guys had extra energy to run off.

Russell titled that “Noah’s brush with death” while I favored “You can’t do anything without the support of your team.” Though you can see me standing off to the side *praying* no one breaks anything!!

We are very grateful for God’s watchful care over all aspects of our trip. The driving, the stopping, the working, the playing. He was good to us in every way, as He always is. We thank you, too, for all your prayers on our behalf. When you support us in prayer, you are a part of the team. Thank you!
