Well, one thing that no one can prepare you for is the attachment that you have when a team comes down to serve with you. I guess you end up giving a little bit of yourself away each time and it hurts when they have to leave. When their bus passed by the entrance of the campground upon their leaving Jordan and I waved as they drove off to the airport. When they were out of sight Jordan walked back to a picnic table on the white house patio, placed his arm on the table and his head down on his arm and bawled. I tried to explain to him that there will be many more people that we have to say good-bye too over the next couple of months.
This is the hardest thing about being a missionary! To everyone who came down from Palm Beach, we love you and we truly do miss you!

I know I miss you all too. It was very sad to wake up and not have 23 + people around. Thank you for all you did for us, you are all truly an inspiration. Tell Ken, Heather, Kyle and Jordan I said Hello!

We miss you guys immensely! There was not a dry eye on the bus as we pulled away and were thinking of little Jordan. Thanks for making us feel at home! Look forward to seeing you again in the future (b/c we will!). Dana Brown
Ken, Sherri and family, We miss you all so much. It's proving emotionally hard to look at the pictures and remember the fun times we had with all of you. God bless you and thanks again for being such wonderful hosts!
Ken, Sherri and family,
We all miss you so much! Each time someone posts their pictures I am reminded of the awesome time that we had because you were willing to host us. Thanks again for everything! God bless you all!
