Today the team arrived. They were exhausted but super excited to be here! To be honest going to the airport was hard for me. As I stood there and saw a family next to us hug their grandmother and tell her over and over how much they loved her.. It was a bit hard for me! As, I would have loved to have been that family... I would have loved my kids grandmothers to have gotten off that plane... Don't get me wrong.. I am EXCITED to have a team here! And, our first team ever since we came on the field 9 years ago! But, it was hard for me and I had nothing but excitement and joy in my heart the whole way to airport. I guess you don't realize how much you miss until you see someone else experiencing that moment... But, I looked at Chris and I saw him tell me to be strong, which made me want to be strong for our kids. They had made and laminated signs for the team! And, we only had to wait a few more minutes and we were hugging the team and telling them how glad we were they had come to Perth!
We brought them home and delivered them to the billets. It was a joy for us to see people that are connected to our church step up and host some of the team. We were getting 4 guys at our place! So, there will be a lot of men in our house this week! After everyone was showered, we welcomed the team with our Sunday Service and had an Australian feast of food! It was very YUM! (as an Aussie would say!)
