In Laredo- Redeemer PCA, San Antonio

This week my family is over in Laredo, Texas with BEAMM, working with a couple of short-term missions teams that are down to serve the local church, Iglesia La Vid, and the community.

Thanks to the youth from Redeemer PCA in San Antonio, Texas, who put in a hard week's work, and welcomed my kids onto their team, besides. These guys were out in the Laredo sun doing landscaping at the church for a few days. They did projects around Laredo Stepping Stone, including cleaning, property maintenance and painting. They passed out hot meals for homeless folks in Laredo one evening. And they completed a couple projects for a disabled neighbor, fixing a hole in his trailer floor and constructing a shelter for his water pump.

The team also had a great time in fellowship with the youth from La Vid who joined them every day, and in activities in the evening, including a couple of intense games of "water polo."

We waved goodbye this morning, and this evening a new group arrives. We're eager to see what the Lord has in store for us in the week ahead!

hello Tammy! What a neat surprise! How did you find the blog? It was a treat to be with Charis, and she was a blessing to Susannah especially! Thanks for loaning her to us- I know it's not easy to give up your oldest for a week.
Blessings abundant!

Hello,
I was looking for your email address so that Charis and Susannah could keep in touch. I found the BEAMM site and your blog was linked there. My email is wtmeeker@gmail.com.

It was hard to be without Charis for a week. It was the longest she's ever been away from us. But the trip was a huge blessing to her, and Susannah was an answer to prayer. Many blessings to you and your family!
