David on Missions Trip

As some of you know, David is gone this week on a missions trip. Twelve teens from our church went to Nashville with several adults from our church (and one toddler!) to work in a missions program there for 4 days.

They left early Sunday morning and the plans were to work Mon-Thurs in the missions program and spend Friday at a waterpark before heading back.

I've gotten a few texts from David since he's been gone. He let me know he was having trouble finding a signal. I asked him to tell me what his day looks like and here's what he said:
"Our day is on a set course. Eat, work in this homeless place moving stuff, lunch, paint a house, dinner." That was Wednesday's schedule. The days could all be the same or each one could be different.

I haven't called since I don't want to disrupt the flow of the experience there. Plus it's probably "not cool" you know. But I am sure I'll hear a lot when he returns on Saturday. He has his cell phone, obviously, so hopefully he's taken some photos with it. A friend is going to email me a pic of the whole group that was taken before they left.

Please continue to pray for their experience and for their safety. I am sure he's doing just fine, but prayers are an added blessing.

Pretty sure a trip like this will be a life-forming event. Love, Mom

I bet that does take some self control not to call, doesn't it!?
