Hi, from Emily! No, I didn't miss Brian so much that I hopped on a plane to Canada; I'm blogging from our house. Brian informed me by text message that they have no internet access currently and asked me to post for him. The team arrived safely in Ottawa and received a wonderful welcome, including a delicious spaghetti dinner. After all their hours of travel, they are already hard at work preparing for their projects and setting up sound equipment. Brian is hopeful that he will have internet access tomorrow. Please remember to pray for our whole team. In addition, please pray for the following individual team members tonight: Jessie Bridges, Will Winters, and Brandan Harden; tomorrow: Karen Diaz, Natalie Barger, Jon Schumann, and Kelsey Rochelle. Remember, you can post any messages you want shared with the group as comments. God bless you all!

Arrived in Harrisburg

Travel days are not that exciting so I won't take much time to post but we have arrived safely in Harrisburg, Pa. We will meet at breakfast at 7 and get back on the road by 730 (hopefully).  Our aim is to be at Eastview Baptist Church by 4.  This morning's service was great! Thanks to all those who are praying for us.  Tomorrow night will be the first group devotion so feel free to leave messages for the team.  We will read them when we are together.  Now for rest.  Tomorrow will be a big day!

All Packed and Ready

After 10 months of planning, our departure is finally tomorrow.  The team this year consists of 24 youth, 2 college students, and 6 adults for a grand total of 32.  Prayers have already been answered as Jenny got her passport delivered to her this morning at 9:30 a.m.  Tomorrow we will worship together and then pile into the vehicles to head to Harrisburg, PA to spend the night.  Each night during group time we will read comments that are left on this blog.  A prayer guide will be included in the bulletin tomorrow.  We hope that you can join us tomorrow for worship and send your prayers with us as our adventure begins.

Getting Ready for Canada

It has been quite a while since the last post on this blog.  Much mission work has happened that has not been written about but as we prepare to head to Canada in a few short weeks I just wanted you to be aware that I will be getting this blog back up and running.  We have 24 youth and 7 adults that will be leaving for Canada on June 24.  Really looking forward to it!  Share this page with your friends so that they can see what we are doing while we are gone.  I will update a couple times before we go so that you can know what's coming up.

a little behind.

Traffic has been bad and this lunch stop has taken a long time. We will probably be a little after 5 at this point. See you when we can

the end is just a beginning

We are settled into the hotel. The pool and the hot tub felt absolutely amazing. Some have crashed early. Others are still bouncing around. So here is a recap of the day. Stuff got loaded early followed by a little cleaning and then the last bible study and closing celebration. 3 more kids won camper of the day awards. Really cute pictures in the sideshow. We have a lot to show you once we get to a computer. We will leave the hotel between 815 and 830 which will put us home by 5. We look forward to seeing everyone. Great trip. Will update from the road tomorrow. We will be caravaning with our new friends from dalton Georgia. Peace.

day is done

Great stories to share from today. Erin had a teen open up with her on her site. J-los kid was encouraging her and telling her it would be ok. Jessie and christine had a kid telling them not to cry. Worship tonight was powerful. Really hit some of the kids. Will, austin, and Zach received honor camper award for the day. Group devo was good tonight as we processed the week. Austin was great in the variety show. We have to load up in the morning and then closing celebration. After that we will go to union station for lunch, walk through the capitol rotunda, go to the holocaust museum, and the american history museum. Hope to be to the hotel around 8. Tomorrow will be for goodbyes and for closure. I will update one more time tomorrow. Peace to you all.
