This morning we had the dedication and blessing of the trip during worship.
There were piles of stuff to pack into the 3 vans, and phones that needed to be synched in order to keep communication lines open between them...
A group shot and prayer before loading into the vans...
We all send our prayers for safe travels, and look forward to hearing all about your experiences!
We arrived safe and sound-- actually an easier trip down than I was anticipating. Only a couple of brief traffic back ups. We had a good first evening with a vesper service reflecting on the day's surprises and on our hopes for the days ahead. I wish you could have listened in to the deep things these kids shared about their hopes for this time of service to others! It is a privilege to be participating I this experience of life changing giving of self for others. I know my life will be different because I spend these days with this group! And we will have fun too!
