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.

Peter helping with navigation and coordination with the other vehicles.  Kyle sang songs to help pass the time, and Pastor Bob got in his afternoon  nap.  Jean talked about anything and everything.  Autumn and Peter kept each other company.  Greg says...
