As I write this entry it is 5 PM Monday afternoon near Corinth Greece:

One half of our Greece short term team arrived in Athens on Sunday morning and traveled to the hotel site around 2:30 PM after a 90 minute drive.  The other half of the team made it to the hotel at 9:30 PM Sunday evening.  We got them immediately to dinner and then got them all checked into their rooms.

Monday morning we all had breakfast together and then had our first full team sharing and planning/training session. In the afternoon we divided up into our respective age group assignments and began to unpack and sort the 1300 pounds of supplies we brought with us.  Everyone’s spirits are high and eager to spend time with the children beginning Wednesday evening.

The conference attendees are beginning to arrive and it is fun seeing families we have gotten to know over the 6 years most of us having been doing this ministry.  Some of the babies we held in 2010 are now in first or second grade.

We are getting lots of exercise as our rooms, the dining room and our meeting rooms are spread around a terraced hillside.  Lots of steps. 

I will try and get some pictures on the next entry.  Thanks for your prayers!

The weather is very warm (read hot) with a little bit of haze over the ocean.
