Our First Team

Our first team for the summer arrived on Thursday, June 5th and is here until the 14th. The team is made up of 19 folks from Colorado Springs, Colorado. It is so cool for us to see the array of personalities and know that God has each individual here for a reason! Their main jobs have been taking apart, moving, and reassembling playground equipment; starting construction on Evy’s new home; and painting, painting, painting! We’ve had a great first time experience as hosts with this team. We have certainly learned a lot. It has been neat for us to be on the “other end” of a mission team. Although we’ve lead a trip before and been team members many times, we’ve learned more about these roles by observing them and hosting them.
Tomorrow plans are to hike an active volcano (something we would never maybe choose to do on our own, but that is a tradition for the team) and visit Antigua (something that we will do with every team). Hopefully we can post some pictures in Antigua for you all!
For now we are off to dinner. The team purchased pizza for the entire home! It is going to be a surprise treat for the kiddos and an unexpected blessing in the form of a night off for the cooks!
Please pray for us that we can continue to minister to the Colorado team and also that the Lord prepare us for our next team arriving on the 14th after this team leaves.
