I guess it's because we've started our busy team season that I just haven't taken time to post for a few weeks...sorry! It's been exciting around here with a team leaving, then a visit from the home office by Rod and Sarah Martin and another board member, then another team. Wow, it just keeps going. This afternoon I go to the airport at 3:00pm then with one traveler from Childrens HopeChest, Sheryl and I go to meet the team that's leaving tomorrow morning, to do the debriefing and thank them for their generous efforts this past week. Then on the return trip through the city we'll stop and pick up 3 more from CHC on an 8:00pm flight and bring them to our place or Dennys for the night. Then another part of their group arrives at 10:00 so we'll go back to the city to pick them up yet before the night ends. Tomorrow I'll be traveling with the CHC group to see 5 homes then on Tuesday we'll visit 4 to wrap up their stay since they leave on Wednesday. 5 days to catch our breath then a group of 25 come for a week from Pa. for another week of work at Vida Ilimitada. Sheryl and I have been taking care of keeping those that don't work with concrete and construction busy painting. I guess that's our specialty....at least Sheryl can claim the brush washing and cleanup as a specialty. Yesterday we spent most of the day with the team at another home visiting, doing crafts with them and then having a pizza party together with all the staff and kids. 18 Giant pizzas can be eaten pretty fast when the kids haven't had it for close to a year. They even said this time that it's a favorite over Pollo Camperro!! Sheryl then treated them to home made cookies, 5 varietys, which even though their stomachs were full, they had room for one or more.I think the team enjoyed them also!
