A Great Week!

Hey Chicago team! Johnny here and I just wanted to say again what a great week Chicago was! You were truly a team, as we worked, as we served, as we played, you all came together and operated as a team! And the team outperforms the individual every time! If you haven't had a chance you should jump over to DC's blog to see the before and after pictures of the baseball field, it is breathtaking!

Remember what happened on the Chicago trip, take a moment to look back through your journal. If you didn't journal much on the trip, stop whatever you're doing right now and capture all your memories while they're still fresh!

I could not be more proud of all of you, including your leaders! They served you and loved you so well all week long! And then there's Skoutz! She put SOOOO many hours into this trip long before we ever left and she poured so much into the preparation and leadership of this trip and I believe that is one of the big reasons why the trip was as amazing as it was! Your teamwork, cooperation and respect honored her. Thank you!

Another big reason why the trip was so amazing is because there were COUNTLESS people praying for all of us! Parents, Oasis/Lifeline leaders, supporters, families, Camp teams, the MOVE team and the MEXICO team, the staff of the church and the list goes on! Prayer is a HUGE part of everything that we've all experienced this summer! That's why I wanted to ask all of you to continue praying for the Mexico team! We fly out tomorrow (Sat. July 26) and will be on mission ALL week until next Saturday when we fly home! Keep the team in your prayers and if you have some time to keep up with what is going on south of the border check out the blog at www.mexic08.blogspot.com

Once again, well done team!

-Johnny
