"Our Mission"
Well, I had to take a few days to gather my thoughts for our final post about our Canada Trip... I just want to let everyone know what a blessing we all received from our trip. It was such an amazing time seeing how others desired to spread the word of our Great Lord. Pastor Brunal, Pastor Im and all of their families were so appreciative for everything we did.
Our time in Canada was also a blessing because we were able to meet so many new faces and make friendships that would last a lifetime. We can't wait to stand at church and tell our personal experiences. Here is more random pics to show you more of our trip from beginning to end!

Thanks again to all who helped see us get to Canada and for all the many prayers being lifted for us while we traveled and were there.

As our new theme song for our trip states, "He's the GOD of this City"
"Helping Hands 4 Him"

We are half way HOME!!!!

We have safely made it half way home. We arrived tonight around 8:15pm after stopping for dinner before gettting to the hotel. We will be leaving here tomorrow morning bright and early heading HOME! We are all excited to see our family and friends and tell you all the things we have accomplished on our Missions Trip to Montreal, Canada.......

Friday Morning and we are OFF!

Good Morning! We are all packed and ready to head to our first nights stop in Pennsylvania! The kids are all eating breakfast right now and we are getting things checked out at the hotel. I think they have all had a fun filled time and learned so much from this trip!

We will see you all soon! (I know some are saying, Ì am ready for my bed..... :o)

An Ending to our Mission......










Well, We cannot believe the week of missions is coming to an end. We have shed some tears today as we had to tell our friends we made here in Montreal, Canada GOOD-BYE! We started out this morning with the Construction Crew/Painters leaving to finish up Paster Brunal's office and the others going Prayer-Walking again throughout the communities. We were so grateful that the office was completely finished and we all were able to go back and see the finished product! Once there Pastor Brunal and his guys presented our team with a beautiful plaque and told us over and over how much they appreciated us doing that for him. One comment that I heard that I wanted to share was that once Pastor Brunal saw the office at end he said...."Oh Thank You so much! It will be so nice now to have somewhere to go for a moment alone"! And to think of what we take for granted on a daily basis!

Once we left there we had a chance to take the guys that had not met Pastor Im and his family to his home where we did the final cooking class and the guys all went to the park to play soccer with he and his son, Young!


The ladies that attended the cooking class were so excited to learn new "desserts" that we Americans eat. In all they learned to make No Bake Cookies, Pecan Pies, Dirt Cake and then a Home-made Yellow cake with Chocolate Icing!

We finally arrived back here to the hotel for a LATE dinner and devotions tonight around 9:30 and then we all have (hopefully) packed up so we can start loading the trucks/trailors at 7:30 sharp in the morning heading home! If I have a chance I will post on the way in but if not... I will show the final pics at the beginning of next week.

Just a reminder.... Though this blog was originally started for everyone to keep up with our Missions Trip it will now (again, HOPEFULLY) be kept up with all of the youths activities!



Night, See ya Sunday evening! Pray for safe travels since we will be dealing with all of the July 4th traffic!

It's Almost Over...

Bonjour'..... We no type English today....

Just kiddin'... (That's all we have heard this week!)

We will post everything about our GREAT FRIDAY later tonight!
