One of those "Happy Sad" moments!

Well today was the finale of Creation Fest and a job well done to the team and CCCM. Finishing with cold, cold and wet weather they are ready for Florida where their flip flops and kakhi shorts are appreciated!

As the day came to a close they all gathered for one final prayer of thanksgiving for all that God had done over the week. With lives saved, friendships formed, hearts of servants molded they made their final farewell.

Now toasty warm and tucked in to bed they are resting up for their 4-5 hour drive tomorrow back to London. Hoping the drive back isnt' as long as the one comingas they drove 3 hours out of the way! (Atleast they have good pics to show for it :D).

Please keep Pilgrim in your prayers as he again attempts to join the London natives at a go of the streets. They will be back in London tomorrow evening after they finish breakfast and a devotion on the beach (in Ilfracombe), one last time. I hear they have the most beautiful beaches, coming from Sarasota folk that's BIG!

To all the parents I am requested that you send your dear children a note to say hi or something, anything!!!!! I hear the students are home sick and when given the quick chance to jump on the net are discouraged not to see something from their mommy's and daddy's :C. Hey, don't shoot the messanger!

Update for all those interested like ME ..................1 day, 39 hours, 2370 minutes and counting! PTL.

Hi Jordan and Kelsey, Yep your right, I had no idea how to post this comment. Jen had to call me and tell me how. I miss you so much, but I want you to enjoy the last bit of time you have there. I can't wait to see you, we will be waiting for you in Orlando. Love you so much, Mom and Dad

Mol, can't wait for you to get home. I'm so glad that you are having a good time. What a blast to be able to serve God in this way. I can't wait to hear all about it. You are missed terribly! I'll be waiting for you at the airport on Tuesday, I can hardly wait. I love you and I'm proud of you, Mom.
P.S Mom got to drive a HUMMER 3!

Hi, Mama Fitch, Alex & Tom! Looking forward to having you home & getting the rest of the details. Just think, the Pilgrims set out on the Mayflower from Southampton to the New World in obedience to God 387 years ago TODAY! How sad that Europe has changed so, but how wonderful that you were able to be part of this terrific ministry that's bringing the light back to that part of the world. Well done! Now, you begin your journey home. Amy arrived home today, so you all can have jet lag recovery races when you get home. (She is starting the recovery sooner, but has more jet lag to overcome.) Have a great trip!

Jordan and Kelsey, Well, in just a little more than 30 hours we will see you. I am so excited to hear all that the Lord has done on this trip. We'll be at the airport, probably with Aunt Peggy and Uncle Dan in tow. Jake is leaving for Colorado tomorrow morning, so it will be 2 more weeks until you see him. I think waiting this last couple of days has been harder than the entire trip combined. Please tell everyone on the team that we love them and are proud of them. Give our thanks to Pilgrim and Mama Fitch for making this trip available to you all. Love Mom

Hey Amy--We miss you so much!! We thank God that you guys have had this time to do His work, but, are counting the time until you get home. The blog has been great...and I know that you will have so much more to share.
Melissa and Ken got home over the weekend, and came over for dinner after church. She says that she will see you soon, and she loves you, and have a safe trip home. Aunt Maria and Aunt Cheri say hello, and will see you soon. Plz pray for Bobby, he left for TN on Thursday. Dad says Hey, and he loves you, and really misses you too!
Tell everyone hello for us, and know that we are praying for you guys.
God Bless You Honey.
Love you, Mom & Dad
