Puerto Rico Mission Pilgrimage – Thursday, March 21
Today, we broke our project routine to take a day into Bayamon and Old San Juan. We originally thought that Saturday, our last day on the island, would be our day to adventure. It turns out that March 22 is a National Holiday in Puerto Rico – Emancipation Day – the celebration Read More...
Puerto Rico Mission Pilgrimage – Wednesday, March 20
The second day often brings the feel of routine and professionalism at the projects at hand, that is if you’re continuing the same work which sometimes is the case. We wake up, eat breakfast, we know our teams, and we get to work with that good American mindset of let’s get work Read More...
Puerto Rico Mission Pilgrimage – Tuesday, March 19
Can you imagine holding your front door closed for hours as violent winds try to pry it open out of your hands? We heard that story today from Jose Medina, director of Campamento Morton (our home for the week), as he recalled the nearly 38 hours straight of Hurricane rains and winds.
Puerto Rico Mission Pilgrimage – Monday, March 18
We planned on being at Morton Camp yesterday evening. I received a phone call Friday afternoon from our Ft. Lauderdale contact. An independent flight tracker site confirmed our fears - the flight was cancelled. Not the way we saw our Mission Trip beginning with a delay of travel plans. So, we did what you have to do: research, rebook, adapt!
