HOME SAFE AND SOUND

It was a long ride home, but we got here last night at about 11 pm. There was a lot of movie watching and a lot of sleeping on the bus. We had a great trip! We have been told that our work made a huge impact on the life of the family we worked for at site 2. We will be staying in touch with that family over the coming year, and have adopted them and will do all that we can from here to help them out in the future.

The picture you see below is of Nick. He was one of our camp guides. He stayed with us all week and worked on job site 2 with us. He also did many of our other activities with us. His mom "Miss Tammy" runs the kitchen at Eagle Ranch. We feel especially close to them as well. Nick will be undergoing neurosurgery in the fall for a siezure disorder. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers. We will be requesting a prayer quilt for him so that he has it for his surgery. When you see the quilt out, please take the time to stop and say a prayer for him.

We want to say a huge thank you to all of the Eagle Ranch staff. They are the kindest, most accomdating and wonderful people, and helped to make this experience one that none of us will ever forget.
Thank you also to everyone at St. Mary for all of your support. Without your help we never could have taken this trip.
Finally a special thank you to George Niepoth, in whose memory we dedicated this trip. Without his staunch support and belief in us, we never would have had the courage and the fortitude to attempt something like this. We love you George, and we know you are sitting with God and smiling down on us and what we have done.
We will post albums on our facebook page next week. Enjoy all the pictures.
