Missions

The following report comes from Rev Gary Seithel who is chair of “On the Move East” - 11 Brentwood area churches worked together this event and this is Gary’s report:

This is my last report from LWV, as we will be leaving here tomorrow at 5.30am.

It will be nice to be back home, but I will miss a lot of things: the beautiful country, the meetings, the songs, the guitars at breakfast and at other times (when you come in the Training Center, where all the meals and the meetings take place, there are always a few kids strumming an acoustic guitar), the staff and of course the children!

 Well, we’ve turned our mattress, as they said when I was in the army and our time was halfway through...  In a week’s time, we will be on the plane back home.  

It will be nice coming home, but at the same time I’m sure it will be very strange to leave all the friends we have made here and all the children.  As I said before, I think they will miss us, but what I’m definitely sure of is that we will miss them.

Two days have passed since my last report.  There is less “news” now, since we are just getting on with our jobs, with attending the meetings and with cuddling as many children as possible.  If there is a Guinness Book World Record for that, you could easily come and beat it here. 

I wonder what it will be like for the children when we are gone, especially for our sponsor children: will they miss us?  I think they will, because they take every opportunity to grab our hand and walk with us or sit with us.

Friday was our first working day.
