My First Mission Trip

***I interrupt my regular blog "theme" to bring you snapshots from a recent mission trip.***

It's been silent in my corner because we've spent the last week in...

Lost Creek, KY to be exact. In seven days time this place became very special to us...

We went with a group of 37 people (including us) from our church. *WARNING* really bright shirts ahead!

In the mornings we did this...

Songs...

 Even Jr. High & High schoolers came! AWESOME!!!

 Visits from Pandamania Pam...

Crafts...                                                                                                                                                       

Games...                                                                                                                                                      

 Snacks...

 And I think this one is just precious! This little guy is praying over the wordless book he made to send to China.

And an awesome bible story time inside the belly of a whale! It was so cool!

Our afternoons were filled with...

And most of our evenings weren't much slower...

We did have plenty of down time though to rest and visit with each other.

One thing for sure, our group knew how to have a good time!

Many friendships were made...

Many faces and places have become dear to us!

I could go on and on as there are so many things to share, but I think you get the idea. We had an amazing week that goes beyond description! This was the perfect family mission trip and I pray we get to go back next year and the next and the next!!!!

Yours truly...

***This post was started the Sunday we got back from our mission trip and was slowly worked on for several days till we took off camping for five days. I had a whole lot more pictures I wanted to share, but I knew at the rate I was going it'd be next month till I'd get it posted! Besides, I'm sure there are plenty already here to give you a good idea of how awesome our week was! ;)
