Team Report

On Saturday, we sent home the team from Central Church in Collerville, TN led by Todd and Amy Andrews. The team was composed of 17 hard working people. If we had to pick one word to describe this team it would be “sweet.” Their hearts were evident in all that they did. The team was young and old, experienced and new. Instead of the traditional trip to Antigua on Wednesday, they opted to take a trip to Lake Atitlan in Panajachel. The weather was wonderful and we had a great time with them on the boat ride. Here at the home they continued work on Evy’s house, painted Winnie the Pooh and Dora murals in the baby house, and some of the women devoted their entire week to a complete overhaul of the Bodega (Storage room). Their nightly activities were a mix of games, slideshows, and testimonies from the team. Everything went so easily and smoothly all week that we were bound to have a problem! On the way to their hotel on Saturday, the bus broke down and required a 2 hour repair on the side of the Pan American Highway! Luckily, they were not flying out until Sunday, so we didn’t have to get them to a plane! If they had been, we don’t know what we would have done. We however had a team coming in so we left Joseph behind with the team while we flagged down a taxi and raced to the airport to catch the team when they landed. We had a great time with this team and hope they come back again next year! They left us with many invitations to stop by and visit whenever we are in the Memphis area.
