West Virginia Mission Trip, Day 6, August 11

Today was our last day to help the people we had been led to by God, and of course we awoke with the break of dawn anxiously to finish our mission.  After a quick breakfast and a group prayer we headed off to our two work sites. We had originally thought in the planning stages in June that we would be helping victims of last year’s bad flooding in this area.  But it turned out that the need is so great in this area that there are many people not directly affected by the flooding that desperately need help.  On our way through the town of Rupert to get to Joni’s house we passed many run-down houses and businesses, with apparently nobody able or willing to fix them up.  Some may have been abandoned by their owners after the flooding, who did not have the resources to fix what had been damaged.  But one gas station at a street corner had a big hole in the roof, and trees growing inside the store.  I compare this to my community of southwest Butler County ...

Tuesday on the Mission Trip

West Virginia Mission Trip, Day 3, August 8, 2017.    God continued to bless us today, this time with the fine sun-filled sky for starters.  Once again we split up into 2 teams in order to help out at 2 sites at once.     Team “Joni” consisted of Donna, Shawn, Kelly, Greg, Jean, Dave,  and myself.  We bought Joni new cabinets for her kitchen, and once again she was brought to tears.  Shawn and Greg continued with the plumbing both under the house in the tight crawl space, and the bathroom.  They dug a hole just outside the house and found all kinds of interesting pipes.  Jean and Dave and I helped with the taping of the cracks and mudding of the drywall in the hallway.  Donna (who was totally flawless) assisted Kelly with hanging drywall in the bathroom.  Then Project manager Gary and Kelly discussed the electrical in the bathroom.  All went well there, and much was accomplished.  Joni was also there, an...
