Hurraaaa!!!!, well done faithful servents of Jesus. You have stayed the course and finished the calling which you had been called to do in a spirit of love and compassion. I am sure that He is well pleased and for your efforts you have stored up rewards in Heaven greater than you could dream and His promise also is that you will live life and do it abundantly. Allways remember those lessons learned and moments spent with Him on the river.
God bless and keep you all as you return to you individual lives and callings in Christ Jesus.

Wow Ethan! Looks like you were right. Super buff. haha. Glad to hear you're all safe. :)
Can't wait to talk to you soon. I have many stories to share and I'm sure you do as well. I'll call when I'm back in the country and we will definitely have to get together.

Nice job guys! Great to see men of passion and ideals who accomplish such goals as a team, and to share the wonder of the journey. Best regards-
An exceptional demonstration of faith, courage and selflessness - thank you Justin, Tim and Ethan - your service is an inspiration ... just make sure you shave the beards before you come back to CBU so you don't scare of the new freshman :) God bless you as you enjoy much deserved recuperation.
