Introducing...the next team to come to Vilanova!

HOLA AMIGOS!

Here we are! Fresh off of our third team meeting. I finally got everyone together for a group picture so you can meet the next team coming from Atlanta May 15-26. We are 9 people strong...some coming to Spain for the first time and others having been before, but we all felt like God was calling us to be a part of His "bigger plan" in your country, so we can't wait to step foot over there in May!

This blog will be short, but I wanted to introduce everyone (from left to right, sitting down first):
  • Brandi Booker (married to Steve, behind her)
  • Alan Boyd (in red)
  • Mozelle Pittman
  • Bobby Garrett
  • Steve Roach (Brandi's husband...top left, 2nd row)
  • Gail Turk
  • Renee Crosby
  • Jamey Gibson
  • Carolyn Norton (ME)

We are still getting to know each other, and we haven't told our "testimonies" yet, but we all have our "roles" for the team meetings and our trip over there, which include:

  1. Ministry Team (Alan and Jamey): to do devotionals at each meeting and while in Spain
  2. Service Team (Mozelle): to help with any service project we may do in Spain
  3. Cultural "Expert" (Gail): to teach us some basics in the Spanish language and culture (she's fluent!)
  4. Financial team (Bobby and Steve): to keep track of the money we raise, our budget etc.
  5. Encouragement Team (Renee and Brandi): to keep us all feeling encouraged and energized while we're over there

And I, Carolyn, have been called to lead this team (2nd time leading a team to Vilanova, and 3rd time going on a team there)! Bobby is going to "apprentice" so he can learn more about leading a trip there too one day.

So that's us "in a nutshell" (as we say in America)! There will be more to come, but for now, know that you are all in our prayers, and we can't wait to see you and share more with you in May!

HAPPY ST. PATRICKS DAY!

Hasta Luego!

Carolina (and team)
