Hello LIFT blog followers!
Kathy Trezise (Tim's wife) emailed us the following email yesterday:
"Tim called me today. Both groups had just come out of the Grand Canyon after great hiking and camping. TO's group had the harder but shorter (20 miles) hike all the way down to the river at the bottom of the canyon. Tim T's group, after a total of 25 miles actually got back up to the rim of the canyon earlier today because they had fewer miles to trek out from their last campsite. The views and weather were fantastic, and everyone seemed to be in great spirits. They were heading back to the Hopi reservation this afternoon, planning on a low-key day including worship and involvement in youth groups tomorrow, with service projects scheduled for Monday and Tuesday. They'll leave the reservation around midnight (Wednesday morning) in order to get to the airport, return the rental vans, and catch their flights back to Albany. The plan is to arrive back in NY around 5:30 PM."
We are excited for their return and to hear about all of their amazing God-given experiences!

I just spoke with Tim T for 6 minutes! He and the LIFT team are currently rock climbing with a couple of youth groups (approximately 20 children) and a few leaders. They drove 2 ½ hours to the border of New Mexico and Arizona to climb a beautiful 40 ft. wall in the middle of the dessert.
As of today, they have finished most of their projects with the Wight missionaries. However, after hosting such a large group, the Wight family decided that they will definitely need an outhouse in the future! Whitney and Rachel dug a 6’ x 3’ x 3’ hole for the new outhouse and the team will build the rest of the outhouse on Monday.
The Wight family is hosting another missionary, Chelsea from Canada, but they did not have suitable accommodations for her. Leave it to the LIFT team to re-model a living space for Chelsea! They had a lot of fun gutting, dry walling, painting, etc.
Tomorrow at 5:00 a.m. the LIFT group departs for their three-day journey in the Grand Canyon. Scott and Melinda Wight will join the group on their adventure. Tim Owens will preach on Sunday so that Scott can join them. All LIFTers are healthy, but Libby will not partake in the Grand Canyon adventure as she has a hip injury.
Tim says that they are all grateful for our prayers, so keep it up!
