A Hearty Welcome Home

It's always nice to return from a trip and tentatively check your email inbox only to find 225 messages patiently awaiting your attention. Lots of fun!

After 60 hours of sleep deprivation, I finally returned home from my 2-week sojourn in Sri Lanka on Saturday evening. Despite horrendous flight experiences with Delta and Sri Lankan airlines, we returned safely to Atlanta, relatively unscathed. We survived the torrents of late-monsoon season, three scorpion attacks (or at least they felt like attacks), Tamil Tiger terrorist attacks and kamikaze Tuc-Tuc drivers.

Our team worked with CBF field missionary, Scott Hunter, to build a water filtration system for a newly built village providing housing for 72 families. I'll post some reflections later this week, hopefully. Thank you to all of you who prayed for us while we were away!
