Beth Beckman:  Wow, what a week!  It’s hard to believe that we will be traveling home tomorrow.  We worked hard and we played hard. We go home with new friends in our hearts and continue to pray for them.  Not only have we made new friends here (both kids and adults), but we have also made new friends among our team members (from EFCN, Orchard  EFree Church and Minnesota).  Each morning we began our day with “God Time.”  Sometimes we met as a group, and other times we broke up into smaller groups, reading scripture and challenging us to draw closer to God.  Living in close quarters, working together, talking together, praying together, serving together, and spending so much time together builds relationships quickly.  I feel so blessed to have so many new friends (teens and adults), most of which were new faces when we first met as a group in preparation for this trip.  I’ll miss these times of daily fellowship and fun with our new friends, both in Juarez and close to home.
