Nice to be Home!


After a long day of travel, and three different sets of flights, the team was (almost) reunited around the baggage carousel at the Dorval airport. We missed many things about Canada, but the family and friends that met us at the airport salved the itch we were feeling in our hearts. Thank you so much to all the support, and love, and messages, and prayers, and patience and understanding! We love you greatly, and are so happy to be home.
For your correspondent, this last week was delightful and meaningful. It was wonderful to get to know the rest of the team much better. And I have to say: these guys are great! I've seen enough patience, humor, stamina and industry to legitimately make our entire community proud. The skills and gifts that were brought to the projects were of the highest caliber. And by the grace of God, we not only got along, but we were able to come closer together and grow to appreciate each other in new and special ways. This is the way that the church is supposed to work together! :-)
This morning, I received a very short and broken phone call -- from one of the school-children of Bluefields. I hope that we were able to touch them as much as as they have touched us.
Over the next few weeks, I'll be intermittently editing pictures and posting them here. There are so many stories to tell, and there was so little extra time while we were there. Thanks for sharing this adventure with all of us!

  1. Thanks Doug, we have had a very exciting adventure via the blog. It certainly was a high point every day.
    We are thankful for the success of the mission and that you are all safely home again.
    Looking forward to hearing many of the details of the week from Jonathan in the near future.
    God Bless
