This was the most seafaring team we've hosted. They were out
on the water Saturday for fun, they accompanied Jill and me to the Keys for
church on Sunday and then were scheduled for Vacation Bible School at the
Keys Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Plus, this team definitely gets an "A"
for flexibility...
Monday went as scheduled, though we had to change boats halfway
to the Keys.
Tuesday the team's small boat turned back in rough seas.
Wednesday found them out on the waters again, this time
in a bigger boat.
Thursday (a make-up day for Tuesday) our original arrangements
fell through and, not feeling too comfortable
with the "Plan B" boat, we canceled. Sigh. The
number one rule of mission teams? Be flexible!

"All aboard!" for Vacation Bible School at the Keys. |
| Jeremy, David, Terra and Charlotte are ready to get underway. |  |
 |
Also on board was a class of dive students. Unfortunately we were radioed that three divers were left behind. They arrived on this smaller boat which we then got into for the rest of the trip to the Keys. |
| We've arrived! Suzanne's toucan friend (which the kids named Froot Loop) tells a Bible story. |  |
 |
"Bubbles" Irwin helps out with recreation. |
| Terra and Rhonda help the kids put together their own toucans during craft time. |  |
 |
The proud bird owners. |
| The parable of the lost sheep was the focus on the second day. Quite an assembly line. |  |
 |
Sheep under construction. |
| Sam holds up her end of things during recreation. |  |
 |
The team got a sweet send off from the Bible school kids at the dock each day. |
Jill and I were at the Keys August 6 for their Harvest celebration. Heartfelt appreciation was expressed for this team's work and the several others that worked and / or visited the Keys this year.
