At the end of July, we welcomed our first team from Living Water Church in Danville, KY. This was a small team of special friends that came down to serve, to see our ministry and to love on us and spend time with us! WHAT A BLESSING!
Check out their week!
After getting in later than they planned, they missed church on Sunday but were able to sleep in since they had been up most the night with missed planes and rescheduled aircrafts and airlines!
But on Sunday night, they were able to have a cookout with the cell group at Eliel and Rode's house! It was a great time of worship and fellowship--along with some good food!!

Then on Monday night after a day at the Project, the team cooked dinner and hung out with the Children's home kids!

On Tuesday, the guys did a work day at our house--they installed lights in our garage and rewired the lights in back of the house....something we have been wanting to do for 3 years!
The ladies were able to go and assist a missionary friend, Heather, and help with her Mommy and Me group.

| Lots of moms and kids and lots of games and fun! |

Then Tuesday night, we had dinner at our house! We invited a few friends and had a great night of fellowship!
 |
| Left my phone alone! |
On Wednesday, we had a change in schedule (like everything else on this trip--poor team!) So we stayed at our house again and worked on a few things! One thing is the boys on the team helped Leyton re-do his bike. Sand it, dismantle it and then Bruce and Leyton repainted it! He was so excited....it was only 3 years of waiting!

For their fun day, the team went to La Paz Waterfall Gardens! It is always a great trip!
 |
| Butterfly garden is always the best! |
 |
| Like my poncho? First time ever to rain at La Paz for me! |
 |
| Sara and I at the waterfalls! |

| End to a great day with friends |
Now, there is a whole other side to this story....this team was attacked the whole time--from schedule changes, flight changes, cancelled tickets, rescheduled flights with other airlines, refunded tickets, and driving WAY more than they planned just to get back home--we were still so blessed by them and they way they loved on us!
--not sure they will come back, based on all of the problems--but we do hope they will come back again! We love them and like I said, they are our special friends....not many would still talk about coming back after this experience!
Thanks LIVING WATER!
IN HIM,
