I am a little behind updating this, but our last full day at the Lighthouse was Sunday, and it was chocked full of good times! It started with Brett doing Morning Watch on the beach again, and this time it was even more quiet and peaceful as last time we were down there. This messages was on how "God wants a relationship with YOU". We pray that the families who don't know the Lord WILL after this week!
After that, the kids went to Flip Flop for their last time (and mostly played in the pool), while parents went to their last "Common Grounds". Volunteers started packing things up throughout the day, as the truck was coming at 4 pm to load everything up. So we didn't have a lot of "conched out" time that day, but the families did so that's all that matters!
Sunday night we had a "picnic" dinner, donated by "Pizza by the Sea" and Eleanor's yummy salad with strawberries! And then we watched a SLIDESHOW of our week! There were so many cute pictures!
Monday (yesterday) we all met under the tent one last time and said our "see ya laters" (we don't say Goodbye at the Lighthouse, just "see ya later"). Let's just say there were a lot of tears! This has been an incredible week, and no one wanted to leave or have to say goodbye. We decided as volunteers though, that we want to come back to same place, with the same group at the same time next year, so I hope that really happens! Lisa and I can't thank everyone enough for their hard work, caring hearts and flexibility all week! It was incredible!
Much love....
Lisa and Carolyn (for Team 8)
