Back Home Safely

Thursday, August 4th, 11:30PM.  We arrived home safely yesterday and received a warm welcome from about ten people from Crossway and the South Bay churches.  Although it was sad to say goodbye to the team members, it was good to be reunited with loved ones and to spend the night in my own bed.  I've been battling a cough for the past 5 days or so and won't be writing a long entry tonight.  I'll give you a few more photos from mission - I hope you enjoy them.  Love, Don

I'm going to close for now.  My cough is acting up and it's time to go to bed.   I'll write more about the mission next time.  God be with you.  Love, Don
