Well, we are home after a week in beautiful Puerto Rico working among and with the wonderful people who live there. If my fellow travelers are like me, they are still in awe of the week and of their many God-sightings. They are probably also all experiencing mild reverse culture shock--all of a sudden we can flush our toilet paper again, there are no longer palm trees everywhere, and our broken Spanish is not as needed here as on the island. Also, it must be about 10 degrees hotter here!
The work doesn't stop here, however. Now we get to discover how this experience has shaped--and will continue to shape--us for further work here in our own country and for the rest of our lives. What else will God do with this group of teenagers? Where is God calling them? I can't wait to find out!
It was truly a wonderful week and our St. Mark's youth represented us well. Again, thank you to everyone who supported us prayerfully and/or financially. Thank you for investing in our youth. They make me proud, and if you could have seen them work, they would have made you proud as well.
With gratitude,
Pastor Emily
