Let's Pray This Team Home!

Can't believe it's almost time for them to come home! YEAH! I don't know about you, but I've missed these guys - all of them! I've really appreciated getting to know them better this year - so it's sad to see this project end...But it will be so nice to have them home!

When I've talked with Matt, it sounds like the whole camp got hit by some flu bug...Many Peruvians were sick before our team got sick - and their cases were more violent. None of our team has been vomiting - though some have come very close. Kayla was battling fever earlier today, and really has been quite sick - she rested a lot today. Most of the team worked on construction. Tommy said they had to build big trenches, about 15-20 ft long and 2m deep which is 6ft. And he thought that there were other smaller projects, but that was all they were doing when he left to go rebuild Juerg's computer (Tommy is a tech-guy after all). Tonight they were headed to Marco & Olenka's for dinner. I wonder if Matt will hold Fabianna again...She seems to have taken a liking to Pastor Matt! With three girls of his own, he's a good daddy, so it's no surprise that a little girl would be comfortable in his arms!

The team leaves tomorrow from Trujillo around 3-4 pm, then will fly to Lima. They wait in Lima until 12:20 am on Wed. to fly to Miami. They get in to Miami at 7:05 am on Wed. morning. Then they fly out approximately 1:00 pm to get back to Minneapolis - then home! Please pray that all flights go safely and smoothly - for ease in getting through customs and getting out of Peru and into America...And that the team feels well while they travel. There is not time this trip for delays and a hotel stay...it will be a long trip (24 hours). So pray for God's strength and touch for their health needs.

Matt said tonight they just have not had fast enough computers and enough time to get to the blogging or uploading more pictures. Their days have been full. They are looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow before they pack up and head to the airport. He said this has been a good trip, despite some sickness, some bug bites and other things they've experienced, God has done His part and lives were changed! Like he mentioned yesterday morning - 7-8 students gave their lives to Christ this week! That is worth celebrating!

I can't wait to sit down with Tommy and hear what God taught him! I hope you all get a chance to connect with these team members and hear first-hand what they experienced and how God opened their hearts and minds...

Good night -
Wendy
