For friends who have been awaiting news of our trip, I do apologize for my lack of communication during our trip this year. It was a busy week, and an emotional one. And though I have been home a couple of weeks, I was hit with some exhaustion, fevers, and insomnia.
All that said, thank you to those who have supported these trips in any
way. It was a great blessing to be welcomed back to the Manuelito
Project this year as family, and it was a true honor to be able to serve
the kids and staff once more.
If you are in our area,
Wednesday
Aug 19th there will be a presentation at
Crossfire at 6:45pm. Several
people will talk about the trip, and there will be details of how you
can get involved with the project in future - either visiting on a team
or in other ways without leaving home!
I will share more here soon, but wanted to show a few photos at least, to give a sense of the week!

The kids don't often do this hike anymore, they have been so often.
We were touched that they accompanied us up again! |
