Finally Home

Our last day was spent working in the community doing something many of us feared, washing and applying lotion to the hair of the people in the community who had lice. It was a humbling experience for many of us. We had our own fears of getting lice, and having to deal with it, but as many others did, I realized that we have access to medicine, we have access to the tools needed to keep ourselves clean and nourished and healthy, these people don't. So we dug in and became the hands and feet of Christ.

Our trip ended with a long trip home. Time to think and reflect on the weeks events. It started with a early morning rise at 4am so we could get to the airport and beat the long lines at checkin.
We flew to Miami where we sat for 2 hours on the plane at the gate for some mechanical issues, but once we got into the air the flight went smoothly. The kids did great this past week. The heat was a little bit more than they have ever experienced, the smells the sights were certainly different. The people  they have met have impacted their lives, and it's my hope for a life time.

We want to thank everyone who prayed for us while we prepared, traveled and returned from this trip. We also want to thank those of you who helped support us financially. It wouldn't have been possible for us to make this trip had it not been for your generosity and support, Thank You!

For those of you who see on a regular basis, if you have question about our trip we would love to tell you about it and the wonderful work that Food for the Hungry is doing there, and more importantly how you can make a difference there as well. There is still a lot of work to be done there in the communities and there are still a lot of children that could benefit from your support and friendship through sponsorship. If you have any questions about how to get involved, please email me at eccchrisk@me.com and I will get you the information you need.

Thanks again for following us on this wonderful and life changing experience.

God Bless!
