Today was almost a work free day. We had rain last night which made everything to wet. We did however get some painting, computer work, and we removed bricks from the truck. We played some soccer today (team canada did finally win against the girls, but not by much), many of us said our good byes to the kids, we spent time in town at the market as well as went for a taco supper. The food on this trip has been amazing! Many of us planning on losing weight will have rather gained.
Today we say good bye to the oh to familiar 18 speed bumps going in and out of town, beans (some more excited for this good bye than others), the children (by far the most difficult), the hugs, the adults, the beautiful views, the daily viewing of the rat killing (Thanks to 4 of the men of hope), and so so much more.
God has blessed us so much on this trip. He has blessed us with safety, spiritual growth, friendship, understanding, knowledge, marriage councelling, and so so much more.
When we arrived here Brian said that everyone comes here to take something home. Not one of the men here would disagree with him what so ever. The weather may have been the coldest in the last 100 years, but the warmth in our hearts from these children has far out weighed the coldest of nights.
Thanks everyone for all your support, and for following the blog. The men of hope shall return forever changed.
II Timothy 1:7
For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.
We wake up at 3 AM, and arrive in fargo at 6PM. Please pray for our safe trip home, and for future groups to have experiences as positive as ours.
