Heyyyyy team! I just caught up on the past couple of posts, I’ve been so worn out from my job, that I went to bed at 10pm last night, haha. Anyways, sounds like the past couple of days have been great. I hope your last day of ministry was amazing, and that it went out with a bang! You kids are all awesome, and reading how the Lord has used you guys is just amazing. You are a great group and I am so happy that I’ve been blessed to know all of you. The relationships and the things that Christ used you for will impact these children and people for years and years to come. Once again, you’re all awesome and I am so excited to see you guys and gals tomorrow night and hear all the wonderful stories. I MISS MISS MISS MISS YOU ALL!!!!!! (: Praying for safe travels home and that all the flights and layovers go well.
Peace&Love,
Kari <3

I’m not sure if they are supposed to be mad or sad in this picture. But Zach, you are in your typical pose. “The Thinker” Juat not quite sure what you are thinking about! Maybe getting us back for getting 2 more naked cats?
Love you baby boy, and I can’t wait to see you and hear everything about your trip! And Sherry: Thanks for relaying those messages and kisses to him. Zach can go miles and miles away and the torture will still be there! HA!

I was so happy when I noticed the letter from Ellie and Leah. . . . Awesome Job! Of course you blessed my socks off. Everyone is asking about the trip and how you are fairin? It is so great to give a report. Love this modern technology. Well, the Eschbachs are ready to have Ellie back – it’s too quiet. Ellie, you bring alot to the table around here; your funny faces, loud laughter and all your funnies about commercials, especially your wild sense of humor. . . . U R Missed! Can’t wait till Saturday Night; Close this chapter of your life . . .Well! Love you and am so proud of you. Love MOM

You guys are doing great! I hope you took the time to watch a sunset.
It is sad to hear about Michael Jackson but remember what Ecclesiastes 3:2 says …….

” a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot,” (NIV)

This is why what you are doing is so important.
Love you all, see ya soon.

Thanks for sharing more beautiful pics! I agree with Mrs. Brubaker. It is apparent that you are feeling sad about being near the end of the trip–probably something you will feel at many times in life as you go through different beginnings and good-byes.

The wonderful thing about being a Christian, though, is as you said, Jesus stays with those we must leave, and he stays with us. It is wonderful to have friends all over the world, too. You never know when your paths may cross again. And when Jesus comes back for us we will be together forever with him.

“Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words.” 1 Thessalonians 4:17-18

It has been wonderful to read all of your messages Your words are so encouraging!
We love you and are praying for you!

How great to see another group picture – wow, Sam, it’s nice to see your face in front of the camera instead of behind it!. You all look so pitiful and sad, though. I guess it’s because you know soon your work is done and you’ll have to return from an island paradise to good old PA. We can’t wait to see you all and are praying that you’ll finish strong!! Love you Evan (and adopted sons too). See you soon! Love, Mom
