Journey Home

Hard to believe that the trip is already over.  When I sent Tom an email to let him know I was home, I asked "Was I really there?"  It all happened so quickly.  As the rest of the team prepares ot leave, they will need your prayers for safe travel.   There are many wonderful stories [...]
