Home!

Hi everyone!

Our team made it home safe and sound this afternoon after 2 smooth and on time flights. Thank you so much for all your prayers and support over the last week during our trip.

Overall, this trip was an amazing experience and I loved everyone second of it. It combined music and an awesome short-term missions opportunity.

I'm so glad God blessed me with this opportunity. My favourite moment was performing at the art show. The amount of people who came out to see the show and hear us perform was stunning and meant so much to me and everyone else on the team. What made me the happiest was hearing that one of the Arabic ladies who came kept talking about the show and how much she loved it the day after. The fact that we were make such an impression on people really meant a lot to me. 

It also made an impression on me when we visited the garment factory and the ladies that work there. It was a joy to see how these ladies moved all the way to Abu Dhabi from China to work and then were brought into God's hands. They were a total inspiration to my own path with God. They work an exhausting 12 to 14 hours a day, but yet, they still attend church service each Friday night and hold Bible study one night a week.

I'm sad that the week went by so quickly but the memories will last forever. Thank you everyone for reading my blog and supporting our team. Your prayers meant the world to us. We are also thankful for having God on our side and leading us all the way, clearing roadblocks as we went. It has been the experience of a lifetime and I would do it all again tomorrow if I could. 

God bless you all.
