A change in weather

The team is about packed and ready to leave North Carolina's freezing rain behind for a few days, for the tropical heat of Costa Rica.  We'll be leaving Nashville at 4:00am on Thursday to head to the airport and whatever awaits us beyond our comfortable homes.   The work will be hard and completely manual.   The blessings that await us all will be many.   The hearts we will bring home will be full and transformed.   We ask that you keep our team in your prayers.  Especially keep Ann in your hearts as she stays behind to care for and be a comfort to a sick family member.   We will miss her presence terribly, but we all know she is doing what God wants of her, and that there will be other opportunities for her to serve in the future.
