Friday, 27 February
Today was our final day full day here in Europe. After breakfast we took the train to Vienna, Austria for a day of sight-seeing, shopping, and schnitzel. What started out as a dreary rainy day as we walked to the train station, ended up being a great day in Vienna. It only started to rain when we left the train station for home at 6pm.
One of the great things about spending this final day together and not working was that we could begin debriefing. Our questions included: What do you think God accomplished in and through our team this week? What difference will this make in your life and walk with God? Would you consider going on a trip that wasn't just building or doing something and was focused on witnessing instead? These are some of the questions we discussed. I imagine we will continue processing more info as we travel home over the next 24 hours.
Onething we did agree upon was that it is amazing that we have been able to go on this trip and the other trips our church has been involved in over the past 8 years. To imagine a church our size in the rural northwoods would have teams going each year to different parts of the country and world to serve, to have so many different people go on trips, to see how God has supplied financially, and to see how God has used us to encourage and to build in His kingdom.
Thank you for following us. Tomorrow morning we will deflate our air mattresses, compress our sleeping bags and pillows, and stuff our belongs in our bags for our adventure home. Pray for good health and travel. Praise God for this opportunity to spend time together and make new friends and relationships that will last for eternity.
Now for the final "Why Wylie Question"
Why does Wylier loose air every night?

Wow! This sounds like a very fun day!!
We are all anxious for your safe arrival to the states. We will pray for you all and that things will go smoothly. We will pray for Lon's back too as it probably doesn't want to be in the sitting position for a long period of time.
Debriefing is a great thing to do on mission trips.......We are happy that you had the opportunity to debrief together because this trip will be like no other trip. That is the amazing thing and seeing God's hand working in the process. Way to go team!
Why Wylie answer: Because he has spent most of the days on this trip with his youth pastor, so he has to learn how to deflate his ego at night and become the humble Wylie again.
What was the answer to the Wy question about the bakery bags......did I miss something?
