Today we took most of the day off and spent some time in the mountains. The ladies went into Estes Park for some shopping...the boys went off to fish. It was a much needed break from the work and emotions of this week. We did finish up the work on 55 goodie bags for the local elementary teachers in the neighborhood. The ladies have cooked this week like Thanksgiving....I am not sure if I have cooked this much in a long time.
We ended our night with a time for prayer for the Parrishes, Living Rock and the Berry family. It was a sweet time for prayer with lots of tears. I heard as I left 900 people came to visitation....wow! So much love for this family.
Tomorrow our team will join in via live stream for Briggs and then head to the airport and go home. Thanks for supporting us. We are looking forward to getting home....hugging our families and friends. Our hearts this week have longed for home (both Granbury and heaven) this week. But I do think God put us here for a purpose...not just to help Living Rock but to mourn together. To make sure that Parrish family that has cried and prayed for Briggs were not alone in their grief....to bring a little of their home of Granbury to Fort Collins as a lady in their church said on Saturday "we can pray. We can cry. But we didn't know him. Brandi needed you this week in a way we couldn't be there for her."
