We're Home....Mostly

Hello, all! This is Bree writing.
The majority of us are back home, and the remaining four are on a plane in first class seats heading to Omaha as I write. They are expected to land around 11:45 tonight, so if you would like to join us welcoming them back home, you would be most welcome!

I need to amend an earlier mistake in the chronicle. I forgot to tell you what the painting team was up to. We were rained out a lot, unfortunately. But Tuesday and Wednesday were very productive. We painted 9 houses, gave out toys and around 20 Step Up to Life tracts! We also went to a rural area where we painted a pastor's house as well as 4 others. As soon as one house was finished another person would ask for their own home to be painted.

I think it is difficult for people to understand how vital painting can be, not just for the longevity of the building, but for the sake of the family that lives within. A building is painted and suddenly it is not just the structure that a family lives in but a home. It is their own.

It's a beautiful thing. I apologize for forgetting that important report about our trip.

Thank you all so much for your prayers and for continuing to keep us in your hearts and minds as the last plane is even now in the air, and our team re-enters "normal" life. I know a lot of us wished we could have stayed longer.
