WE MADE IT!!

We are now in San Antonio. The border crossing was smooth and easy. We didn't get pulled over at gunpoint this time around :-) We had a smooth trip right to the hotel and are now just finished supper....have read the blog comments (thanks!) and are getting ready to head out to the Riverwalk. I will post a few more pictures and later we'll get a few people to reflect on the last couple of days. What an incredible experience we have had. And best of all....my wife is still pregnant....one more sleep and I'll be home dear....keep that baby inside. Thanks so much for all your prayers over this week and today. We sure have felt them.

So many meaningful experiences....so much work done....and many many laughs. The team has really become family and we have so enjoyed and benefited from each member here. Thanks Sirva team!

Just wanted to send a quick update so you knew we made it across safe and sound.

Lots of love from the San Antonio riverwalk....

Hey team! What an awesome job you've done at Casa Hogar, impacting lives in profound and beautiful ways. It's been great to read the blog and see all the fabulous pics.....especially those 'staches'! I have already left two comments that never made the blog and I don't know what I screwed up but I hope this one gets on. I got a chuckle out of the 'needing advice from mom message from Spencer' but the 'Would I really go public about my girl problems?' sounds alot more like the Spence I know. Can't wait to hear the story behind it though.....at least I think I want to hear it!? We have been praying for you all every day and now we're praying you home and looking forward to seeing everyone at the airport. God be with you all and bring you safely back.
I hope you're on your way back too Spence and resisted the urge to stay. : ) You and Ryan can start planning for Sirva 2009! See you soon.
Marlene (and Mom to Spence)
