Torrey is home. (Insert Hallelujah chorus here.) The vans pulled in around 8:30 last night. God giggled when her van was the last one to get there ... boy! did we miss her!
We live about 45 minutes from church ... it took her the entire ride home to tell us about her week. Well, we got most of it on the ride home ... she keeps sharing with us things she did and things she learned. It was a great week!
We asked her if it was hot. She said it was, but it didn't bother her because she was having a blast. Thank you for praying.
Her group went to 3 different places ... staying mostly at Strong Foundation and Daily Bread. They did put gravel on a new playground at Valley High Baptist Church ... which my mom was tickled to tell Torrey was the church we attended when we lived in San Antonio (when I was born.) Torrey's week was spent building fences, feeding the hungry, loading and unloading. She nearly squealed when she told us that she made cement. Cement. And, she dug holes to build a fence. She took ownership of that fence ... more than once she called it "Our Fence". As we heard about all that she saw and did, we were pleased ... but, more importantly, God was pleased.
She came home tired. She slept today until 12:33. We are grateful for the opportunity she had this week to get her feet wet in missions. I am sure it is just the start of her mission trips!

We are excited for Torrey! It is a joy to serve the Lord. Imagine our surprise when Torrey told us she went to Valley High Baptist, a name we hadn't heard for Many many years. We went to church there for 1 1/2 years and Tracy started going to chuch right there when she was just 6 days old!!!!! Talk about cominf full circle!!!
