After two weeks with our graduated seniors, we welcomed two teams, one from the east coast and one from the west coast of the U.S.  The west coast STM had never been to Helene before, and the east coast STM was seasoned by one year of experience.  Both groups were great together.  We took great joy in hosting our dear friends from Kitty Hawk and Kill Devil Hills, NC, where we live in the states.  In that glorious place called OBX, you're a neighbor with anyone from the "Banks", no matter what township.  We were even more thrilled to see this team spring forth from two congregations who combined efforts to make a mission experience available for both churches.  Two major construction projects were accomplished, putting a roof on Bro. Elbert's new house and finishing a deck between Classrooms 1 and 2.  We also had a dentist and a promising dental student for a week!
