Two terrific send-offs from MCC-Washington today! One at each of the Sunday morning services, which were both well attended for Father's Day. Our 4 missionaries participated in both ceremonies. We were joined by other church members who are departing this week for MCC's annual conference in Acapulco. From right to left, wearing our official 2010 DR Mission t-shirts in the attached group picture are Karen Hertel, Colleen Kersey, Michelle Martin, and Michael Herman.
We each shared our inspirations and our expectations for this great adventure. This is the first trip for Karen and Michelle. Colleen's plans took an unexpected but happy detour. And for myself, this is mission trip #3.
The prayers were earnest; the blessings were many, and afterwards we got many personal expressions of support and love from our fellow worshippers. T-2!!!!! Can't believe it's finally going to happen!
