A Note for the Parents....

Hello! Greg and I wanted to take a minute to let you parents know just how delightful these dear young adults have been so far on the trip. Like their chaperones, they are not perfect. But they are genuine and kind and they generally take good care to be thoughtful to one another. They've stepped up in every way. Adults with whom we've come in contact have commented to us about what a nice group of kids they are -- not "typical American teens."

I hope you enjoy the pictures below from the past four days.

Thanks for keeping us in prayer! God is answering and holding us close!

Love,

Janet

P.S. All the students are truly grateful for this gift to tour Scotland. Jimmy and Helen Fisher have also beenh a genuine gift to us all. They're patient, joyful, kind, and a good brother and a good sister in Christ to us.
