3:15 p.m. Yeah! We did it! The excitement and anticipation grew as we entered the Bay Area and the youth said, “hey, we see things we recognize!”. As we approached the MPC parking lot, a favorite song from the trip blaring, the windows rolled down, and youth singing along at the top of their lungs, we were greeted by happy parents, ready for the hand-off.
Thanks be to God for a safe trip and all of the wonderful components we were hoping for when we first started the planning. Thanks to Jim and Anita Allardice and Kevin Fallehy for being wonderful adult teammates on this 9 day journey. I am attaching our goofy “after” photo so that you can glimpse the joy, excitement, connection, relief, and fatigue of our crew. Signing off until our next great adventure. Please join us at MPC on Sunday, August 19 at 5 p.m. for our youth-led mission trip sharing Celebration. Come hear how lives were touched and worlds expanded.
