It was a fantastic day of firsts for most of us on the team. For many, it was their first time in the Carribean Ocean. For others, it was their first time exploring coral reefs. We felt incredibly blessed to be able to end our trip with a day like this. To cap the day off, there was a beautiful rainbow in the sky for our entire boatride back to the main land.
Supper was fried chicken and then we had a team meeting back at the mission house to debrief the day. The only low from the day is that several people on the team got sunburns while snorkeling. It was almost impossible to keep sunscreen on for the hours that we were exploring the reefs. Thankfully we came stocked with a ton of aloe vera, so we will be able to slather up for the plane rides tomorrow.
It's hard to believe that we are leaving already. Right at this moment, the teams are packing their suitcases. We will be leaving the mission house at 8am tomorrow. It will be a full day of travel. We expect to arrive in Portland, Maine at around 11:30pm tomorrow night. We will probably be a little late with the final blog post and pictures, but they will happen. We are expecting to arrive back in Grand Bay around 6-6:30pm Sunday evening. A huge thank you to everyone for all of your prayer support. We continue to see prayers answered on a daily basis. This entire week has felt like God has gone before us and prepared a path for our team. We ask for your continued prayer support for traveling tomorrow. Please pray that we make our flight, and connection. Also, please pray that our luggage arrives safely in Portland when we do :)
Also, please pray that God would continue to work in the hearts of all of the team members. There have definitely been some seeds planted during this week. Please pray that God will nurture these seeds, and help the team return to their daily routines with a fresh perspective and a vision for God's will in their lives.
We look forward to seeing all of you soon!
Blessings!
