Day 1

Day 1 is in the books. What a long day it was. We met at Woodside at 5 am and didn’t land in Freeport until 5:30 pm. As if our four hour layover in Atlanta wasn’t bad enough, we had a 45 minute delay. But hey, we’re here and like I always say, nobody died.

We took advantage of the layover to form our small groups/teams. This year’s theme is superheroes, so we all created our own and came up with a catch phrase and mascot. Ask your kids more about it when they get home.

We arrived tired and hungry, but that soon disappeared after eating some of Karen’s fabulous lasagna. The eleven newbies got initiated and are now officially part of the gang. Only a few broken bones. (Just kidding Barb and Mary).

Small group time will be a growing experience for all of us as we focus on Phillipians 4:13, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”

We are all looking forward to getting to the work site tomorrow to see what Raoul has planned for us, but we know it’s God’s plan that we are following this week.
