the team left

Wisconsin Team.. Brady, Danielle, Travis and Leslie

The team left the country today. They have been with us here for three months and it has been wonderful to have them. They worked on a lot of ministry stuff here. They went to the jails and to the schools.. joined us on Wednesday service and on Sundays for Youth bible study..

They have been so close to us and we had wonderful memories together.. it is just so sad that they are leaving.. but the thought that they will go back home with their family and friends is also a beautiful thing.. there really is no reason to be sad.. hehehe.. but we can't help it.. we will surely miss them..

We woke up early on the day that they left and we watched them walk down the stairs and get inside the van. It was just so sad.. we were all smiling but we were also in tears.. we tried to stop ourselves from crying.. but we gave in. heheh..

To the team, thank you very much for sharing your life with us.. you guys are a blessing to all of us.. we know you are happy to be back home.. we hope to see you again.. we love you! God bless!

Done. I hugged them many times, and at least one was for you! It was hard for them to leave, too.

See you later!(here, there or in the air!)
