All you are doing will add up and come together in the greater scheme of things. Life is a journey and you will look back and remember the hard work, but it’s the moments with others that will be meaningful.
They say it’s not what people say to you that you will recall, but how they made you feel.
I pray that your actions and words on this mission trip inspire you to move towards a rewarding and positive experience on your Faith journey.
Laugh, share, and love, love love!
Hugs to all, (Cause I’m a hugger!)

It is wonderful to have a place to hear of your journey! I have had you all in my prayers and will continue to do so until you return. You are an amazing group of people, and you are doing amazing work! I’m so proud of all of you for being there ready to put the pieces back together for those who were victims of disaster. You are truly the hands and feet of God. Thank you for touching the lives of so many people!
Love, Gretch
P.S. Mol, the whippets send their love<3

Alex’s Mom). You all are a great battalion of God’s grace to people who didn’t know how in the world they were going to get this job done! We are all proud that you are shining the light on behalf of all of us!

Trevor, did you really take the hair straightener on a mission trip??????

Rock on, and watch out for rusty nails, PLEASE!
Love, Trevor’s (and Alex’s) Mom

Your accommodations sound quite nice. Pizza, games and singing are a great start to the trip. Nate you got me thinking about naming my car. My cars have never had an official name, although I think my minivan could have been called Stinky. I am glad you showed Conan’s speech and that you found it to be inspirational too. I found it to be such a great lesson for me on trying to be the better person and taking the high road, and not being cynical. Work hard and play hard. You are doing great work!
