Our friends visit the US of A!


For about a year now, we have been anticipating the visit of four Scottish friends' visit to America! Last week Jordan, Angelica, Daniel & Marianne arrived in the Atlanta airport. They will be staying for a few weeks and returning to Scotland the day before our team leaves.

We have enjoyed their visit thus far and have loved the fact that their being here has brought together past team members :).

Here are some pictures of our adventures thus far:

After church at RiverStone, we walked around the Marietta Square. We posed in front of StoneBridge church in honor of Bill!

Our friendships in Scotland have proven to be deep and we are thankful the friendship extends beyond a week long camp.

Yard Sale!

Our Scotland mission team kicked off our first fundraiser event in late April with a church-wide yard sale. Our team decided to sell baked goods and offer facepainting. Nothing like a hot, long day to help team members bond and get to know each other better. Enjoy the pictures!

Our baked goods...and 1980s style sign.
