Wow our time here in Arizona went by so fast. It feels like just yesterday we were meeting at TKCS to head to the airport and tomorrow we will be heading to the airport to head home. The kids were asking last night if we could stay for another week and as much as we would love to, I think Jack and I are ready to give you guys back your kids.
What an amazing group of kids! The complements never stopped and that truly says a lot. Thank you for raising such great kids. Jack and I were excited for this group of kids and how God would use them on this trip. They did everything with out complaining, even today when we came back from working and they were told that we would be leaving to go shopping and our plans changed and we were needed over at ARM. The kids got into the van and worked hard moving rocks for the bridge and sorting school supplies for their backpack ministry.
It has been such a privilege getting to work side by side with these kids and also getting to observe them this week. I had such a great time working with the girls in installing the windows and working with the guys today installing the ceiling fans as well as the many other things we did this week. Watching their eyes light up when the kids came on the bus for the first time and how they played with the kids and just showing them love.
Many of us overcame fears; bugs, heights (Zac, Becca, and I all ended up on the roof yesterday and made it back onto the ground in one piece), and even just how to minister to the kids we would come in contact with. I'm sad to see us pack up and leave but I know that the people we worked with, the stories we have to share, and the memories we've made will be with us forever and will be a reminder of how God used each and everyone us on this trip. See you all tomorrow. Goodnight and God Bless from Arizona.
