Tonight, Kosmos officially ended. This was a great conference. There were right at 500 people in attendance and almost every one of those did ministry each afternoon. There were over 1200 salvations total and 43 students surrendered to full time missions. We even had 6 from Southside on that list. Praise the Lord! This really has been an awesome trip and I can't say enough how awesome these students have been. Every one of them - I love each of them and am proud of each of them. We have a great team.
This may be the last post. We are headed to Guanacaste tomorrow morning and do not know if we have internet access. If so, I will definitely keep you updated. If not we will see you Wednesday. We do miss you but we are definitely where God wants us. We covet your prayers as always and you are in ours.

Dear Mandalynn,
You're family and sponsors all send their love and prayers. I have resorted to copying off the blogs and sending to everyone since some was having trouble the newsletters. We can tell you are having a GREAT time! Everyone looks like they are having a great time ministering to and by the people the Lord allows to cross you paths. How excited to have gotten to participate in the Kosmos games our missionary family had spoke of a few years ago at Southside!
We wish we were serving with you but know the Lord is blessing you greatly in all the team is doing together for His glory!
We are looking forward to hearing of the results of the visit to the village next then your return home. I'm sure you won't want to return home after an exciting trip but we look forward to hearing the end of the trip and the lives that were changed because each of you were will to follow our Lord's guidance to 'Go and Serve in His Name'!
See you Wednesday! I and Bob Coleman are down to bring you home at this time. Everyone is praying for the team and blessed to hear what God is doing. I loved the creative gesture of the gift bags for the mothers of the orphans by the way...quick thinking to give a gift of love off the cuff! You girls did well to come up with that idea! Give yourselves a 'high 5' for those ideas to make their bags extra special!
God bless! Love you! You're prayer warriors, Mom and the rest of the support team across the miles. You're supporters are writing and talking about the letters! They are being blessed also!!! PTL! :-)
wow, this is great, J-Ray! The internet is a wonderful thing. : ) Tell everyone Melissa Hyde loves them and is praying for the trip! Load more pics! : )
Missions trips seem way more appealing right now... Chinese is HARD!
Missing my youth group,
