Team Folsom

This brigade of 28 individuals came from the area of Folsom, California with members from the following: Harbor Church, Oak Hills Church, Bayside Church, River Rock Church and  Mosaic Church.  We were so thankful for their time here.  This team was such an easy going, laid back group with lots of heart and joy.  In true Honduran style, the team arose early on Wednesday morning to watch the 5a.m. game with the staff as Honduras played in their first World Cup game from South Africa!  This team was involved in many activities during the week.  Team Folsom participated in two afternoons of soccer camp in the community and a day of VBS with the La Providencia school children.  While many team members spent their time digging drainage ditches with staff member, Josue, others were sorting donated materials and organizing items in the La Providencia store with staff member, Tomas.  They led a time of devotion with the La Providencia staff and some of the ladies accompanied the house mothers into town to help with errands and shared a time of cooking and recipe exchange.  Also, two super speech therapists were part of this team.  These gals were able to establish a program for Dagoberto and Kenneth.  After working with these two boys for only one week, they were able to see progress in the boys' abilities to communicate.  The youth on this trip were also a special blessing. They were so joyful, respectful and energetic! They played with and loved on the children so well! Our own children formed many friendships with them and it was such a joy to see their hearts lifted and filled with the delight of fellowship and companionship.  Thanks Team Folsom for your presence this week.  We were so blessed by your hardwork, your fellowship and support.  We were thankful to share an evening of fellowship and basketball with you.  Thank you for your time with us.  We are looking forward to year three!
