After the airline they had tickets with "disappeared" (went under), it took this team almost 12 hours to get here from Florida. Five bags are still missing, and it is HOT (really, really hot).
And yet, the joy of the Lord is clearly their strength, because this awesome group from Cornerstone Church in Bear, DE has been amazing! Yesterday, they painted and painted the new seminary like crazy, getting a remarkable amount done. Today, despite horror stories of the steep hike, burning sun and hounding vendors, they are off to the Citadel for another adventure!
And in between, they are laughing, positive, and just plain an encouragement and joy to be around! Thank you, Cornerstone, for sending your friends and family to bless us, and many many others, this week! Don, from Sharptown Church in New Jersey, also returned to the field Thursday, staying through the end of August to try to complete the seminary construction. We are SO glad to have him back!
It is just plain good to be home! Even with the heat, Matt, Lily and I are as happy as can be to be here, and we're having such a good time catching up with friends and getting back to work. As blessed as we were by our many speaking opportunities this summer, it is great to be back to doing what He has made us to do!
