The kids and I had an AMAZING week together on a mission trip to Jackson, KY with Chapel Hill Church. I absolutely loved watching my kids serve with joyful hearts, worship the Lord, and bond with friends. Our trip started with a 14 hour drive on Saturday. On Sunday, we joined Happy Church for worship and youth group, and also prepared blessing bags to take with us as we went door to door, praying with them and inviting them to a picnic at a park near the church. On the weekdays, we did various things such as completing work projects for the church and hanging out at the senior center. In the evenings, we put on camps for the kids in the area. Colton and two friends led a soccer skills camp, Summer teamed up with another student to teach piano, and Larkyn and I were on the crafts team, helping kids make bracelets, shrinky-dink key chains, and origami. On Thursday evening, we prepared an evening of games and food for the community, and had a blast despite needing to end earlier than planned due to torrential downpour and thunderstorms. On Friday, we worked on work projects in the morning at the church, and then had a fun afternoon of hiking to and playing in a local waterfall. On Saturday, we drove 14 hours back. It was so much fun to see a lot of the kids and people that we knew from our mission trip to Happy Church last year, and our team bonded so well, making many wonderful memories. Here are some pictures, and this is a link to a highlight video.
