YAY! We just got home a few hours ago. I'm so sorry we weren't able to update the blog like I would have wanted to. We couldn't get internet from Julie's lap top very well.
I am SO glad to be home (I get to sleep in MY bed tonight!!!), but it was definitely very hard to leave the people in Merthyr yesterday.
HELLO TO ANDY, LYNDA, BETH, MEG, GARRETH, ANGELA, MATT, TOM, TONY, NORMA, JOHN, JAMES, MATT AND AMY, VICKI, ANNA, and EVERYONE else at the wonderful SGC in Merthyr! I miss you all already! I will be taking my film in tomorrow to get it developed so I may be able to put up some more pics on the site tomorrow night! I love my new Merthyr church family and can't wait to hear from you! Feel free to post on my blog when you can, and send pictures as well!
To everyone here at home that I haven't seen yet, I LOVE YOU and can't wait to see you! Please pray though...my luggage was lost today. :( I got my camera case but my suitcase didn't make it on the plane in Charlotte. They did call us to tell us they FOUND my bag, but it most likely won't get delivered till tomorrow evening at the earliest...which means I don't get to give my family their gifts until then. :(
Thanks to EVERYONE who prayed for us while we were gone, and for the weather! We had a few days where the weather was gloriously sunny and thus enabled us to spend more time serving and spend time with the church. It was definitely disappointing to have to cancel the Fun In The Park day, but I am so grateful that we can trust in the sovereignty of God. I know that God's purposes cannot be thwarted and are not dependent on a team of 20 Americans coming over to help out a baby church. :) God doesn't NEED me to do certain things for His glory...He simply provides me the wonderful privilege of serving His church and lifting His name up in a dark world, because He chooses to do so. How kind of our amazing God to give me such a wonderful opportunity!
Wow...I will be amazed if any of that even makes sense to you guys. :) It's 10 PM right now, which means it should feel like 3 AM to me...which means I should be passed out in a coma by now. =D Again, I love you all and can't WAIT to hear from you!

Welcome home! Glad you all made it back safely. We (talking about any of us) cannot wait to hear all the stories and see all the pictures :>)
Oh, Steph, I'm SO sorry about your luggage. Thank
goodness they found it though! I'm really glad we got to go on the trip together and I look forward to seeing all your great pictures!
