We would like to thank all those who kept us and our Mission in their prayers, our families who carried on without us for a week, and the Good Lord who gave us the means, faith, and stamina to serve others in this way. This group plans to continue service work locally and hopes to put together another trip for next year. If our presentation has sparked an interest in you to join this group or another in the future, please let us know. We would be glad to help answer any additional questions you may have.
