Day 10 & 11
Our trip home took 24 hours and 3 planes. Derek was so happy to have Mcdonalds - I think I may have seen a tear! We will forever be changed. We came home with a new appreciation for this great Country in which we are blessed to live . And feel a great responsibility to help others not as fortunate as ourselves. We are now going to work on making quilts for that little Tucson village. SXHU is donated bunkbed for thier huts and we are going to provide quilts for the beds. We are also going to start a Missionary clothing project. The missionaries that leave from their have nothing. We donated all our suitcases (except the few we needed to bring our stuff home in) to the missionaries. We are going to gather up white shirts & Ties and socks to send back for all those Elders who are leaving on missions! If you would like to help in our efforts let me know! I am hoping to get 50 quilts made and 2000 ties (in honor of the stripling warriors) to send by Christmas! We are in the process of making a movie of our adventure - we will post a small one on Youtube for all of you to see. If you are interested in the long version - on your next visit to our home we will be happy to show you!

I just read through all of the posts from your trip (my boys are wondering why I've been on the computer so long). :) What an amazing experience your family must have had. I'm going to go through Jeremy's ties. :)
Hi Rachel! I popped over from Kristin's blog and I have to say, your travels were amazing. What a neat time to spend with your family, how I'm sure you grew through this incredible time. I want more pictures! I've added Lima onto my "Places to visit before I die...hopefully" List. Amazing!
