This was my first mission trip and as I viewed the ravages of the flood, I was in awe of the courage, faith and hope of each homeowner. Ruined by the flood, the homes had already had the drywall removed. Having little to no experience drywalling, I quickly learned from an onsite expert and my capable teammates. The more we worked together and got to know the homeowners, the more committed we became. By the end of the week, one of the homes we worked on had all the walls up – an amazing feat in itself. It was a great experience and one I will not forget – especially the bond created with the homeowners and my team.

An amazing week in Nashville! As Mary Beth summed up in her sermon on Nov. 28, Nashville lived up to its title, "The Music City:" the service at the church with beautifully performed traditional Christian music, the Grand Old Opry, a gospel sing-a-long, and the Nashville symphony with full orchestra. The food prepared by the Michigan and Ohio gals in our group was music to our stomachs and surely the work we did was music to God and to the homeowners we served. What a blessing to us to have the time and the strength to go!
