Team #1- Success!

Well, the first team left Liberia a week ago today... its taken me this long to recover. ;) But seriously we couldn't have asked for the first ever Samaritan's Purse International team to go any better! They accomplished more work than was planned, and made incredibly relationships with the Liberians they were working with. On the last night in Yekepa, we threw a celebration with the team and the Liberian crew (about 60 people). It was filled with incredible singing and dancing, 50+ pounds of rice (COMPLETELY finished off), and a time of sharing which was really special for everyone. My prayer is that the next six teams are able to relate with the Liberians as well as this first team.

I spent most of my week trying to catch up on sleep, preparing for the next team... who knew taking care of ten men for 18 days would wear me out so badly! My second team arrives this week Friday, and we are heading up to Yekepa on Saturday morning... with me driving them in a 15 passenger van! It's going to be a slow drive, but it will be good.

This weekend I was able to travel to another sub-office of SP which I have heard about for years but have never been able to visit. While there I finally was able to learn how to ride motorbike- and had a blast!


I am finally able to live up to my last name! ;)
