Sure the scenery was beautiful, the weather was ideal and the ocean was breathtaking, but what I miss the most is the friends we made. I miss my team members and I miss the daily sharing. I miss the YWAM staff and the way they made me smile. I miss the friendships that will last a lifetime even if we never see each other again until Heaven. Ray Boltz's song "Thank you for giving to the Lord" really hits home.
Onasai...you always made us smile and your laugh could be heard across the base!
Davita...you were so patient, kind and peaceable. You showed me how I should be the same.
Antonia....I miss your music so much!
Chubby, Mika, Malachi and Fiji Bill...you all have such special gifts that you use for the Lord. I am so glad God let our paths cross.
And for my team...You all are awesome. Watching you grow in the Lord, work hard and encourage each other and us was a special gift from God. I think of you every day and when I do, I always smile. It seems the smallest things remind me of you...we shared so much that it's hard to believe we are all living separate lives now. Stay strong, be bold and never neglect your quiet time with God. You are in my prayers.
Each summer is a life changing experience. I can't wait for the next adventure and I will never forget this one! Fa'a Samoa! May you bless the Lord in all that you do!
