Beth Beckman:\u00a0 Wow, what a week!\u00a0 It\u2019s hard to believe that we will be traveling home tomorrow.\u00a0 We worked hard and we played hard. We go home with new friends in our hearts and continue to pray for them.\u00a0 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\u00a0 EFree Church and Minnesota).\u00a0 Each morning we began our day with \u201cGod Time.\u201d\u00a0 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.\u00a0 Living in close quarters, working together, talking together, praying together, serving together, and spending so much time together builds relationships quickly.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 I\u2019ll miss these times of daily fellowship and fun with our new friends, both in Juarez and close to home.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
