The children, boys and girls alike, LOVED making these flowers today. They spent time individually fraying the edges of the tissue paper to make it look extra pretty.

Praying for safety and peace as your mission trip is coming to a close. Know you will bring home many stories, and maybe even ideas for continuing a relationship with this church that you ministered to. Praying for the whole team today, but especially for Abbi, Tye, Hannah, Caroline, Samantha, Rachel, Wendy, Randy, Anna and Travis. Thank you al so much for answering the call to go to Costa Rica and be Highland Hills to these folks serving in His name. Be safe.
