Wow.
That one word is the best that I can come up with to summarize the trip. Wow. What a time. I can hardly believe that we are back. I'm already starting to count down the next 51 weeks so we can do it again!
This was one of the best (if not the very best) trip that I have been on in the 18 years that I have been doing this. We built homes for five families that needed them. We shared Christ through our actions. Many of the students that went on the trip committed their lives to Christ for the first time, and many more recommitted. It was simply an amazing trip.
I am tired. Moving 100 people around internationally is taxing, especially when the border closes when you are trying to get home! Heheh...that was interesting.
Over the next week I will be posting up pictures, videos and stories. None of them can truly represent what we experience...how can you capture the work of The Lord with a digital camera? But I will do my best.
Thank you to all of you that supported us financially and prayerfully. We really could not have done it without you.
im counting down the weeks as well! im so bummed i couldnt make it this year...im stoked to be a leader next year!

This was a really amazing year. Everything was very low key, and all the people involved are just wonderful. Every person I met showed me Jesus, and a lot of the time, they didn't even know it! Blessings, everyone. Thanks for an awesome trip!
