That's exactly what it's been this week - starting out good but breaking through the barriers to GREAT! For those who haven't read the book that our theme for this week was based upon, the premise is that "good" is the enemy of "great" - meaning that when you settle for good being "good enough", you will never make it to greatness no matter what you are doing. This team took that challenge to heart. The trip veterans stepped up in a big way and the rookies followed that lead to make this an incredible week. No injuries, no drama, no whining (well almost none) - as a leader I couldn't have expected better results. Lives were changed in Jamaica - for Jamaicans and Americans.
If you've been following this blog you obviously know someone on the trip. When you bump into them after our return home and you have a few minutes to spare, ask them about the experience and watch their face light up. Thanks for the support, both prayers and financial - I can't describe how much both are appreciated.
Joey was certainly missed by us and his Jamaican friends too. I can barely wait until he can be back here in Harmons. For now, the physical labor is finished for this team and we start our journey for home in the morning headed back to the loved ones at home. Don't expect us to be the same...
Mike
