We made it!!!

Good evening everyone!

I am writing this a little later than I was hoping but ... we made it! Our experience with JetBlue gave us an awesome start in the morning, not charging us for our extra pieces of luggage or overweight luggage pieces (good job, Paige Wrigley!)

The day went by fast and all our luggage arrived safely with us. Tammy had her first experience on a plane and her excitement definitely overshadowed any nervousness she had about it!

Our camp director, Nate, started as an intern here about 8 years ago ... now he is spending his entire summer away from his family to make our experience the best it can be. What a blessing! The Kaye Family (Peter, Jeni, Jonah, and Maliyah) are joining us for the week. It's so amazing to watch a family serve together! They fit in very well with our team and life in the Bahamas!

Tonight we went over the basic camp guidelines and got ready for tomorrow at the work site. Everyone knows their responsibility, they pitched in to get snack ready, clean the dining area, and get the place ready for breakfast in the morning. Pete closed us in an awesome prayer that reminded us that God does amazing, life-changing things here. We can't wait for the stories we will share.

Giving Thanks for:
- Safe travels and no lost luggage!
- An amazing family and leader to serve alongside
- The slightest bit of rain to cool us off as we settle into life where the humidity is much more than we're used to
- Smiling faces ... from our team ... and the people here

Please pray for:
- Energy for our first day ... the kids really wear us down because they have so much energy!
- Opportunities to love God and love others

Post comments and we'll read them at breakfast!

  1. I MISS THE BAHAMAS AND SNACK TIME. Eat extra pineapple upside down cake for me. Bring back fresh coconut oil-drenched crab legs for me.

    -Becca, again
