On the road

We left Shiprock at 8ish yesterday morning.  Because we spent more time than anticipated in Mesa Verde,  we didn't arrive in Johnson City until after midnight CDT.  The wonderful Cathy greeted us, showed us our rooms, and all the food they had for us.  It was so late and there was no signal downstairs so no post last night.  Expect to read about Friday and final thoughts of the trip later this evening.
Your tired but grateful mission trip team.

Hacky Sacking In Four States .... At Once!

Image
WELCOME TO THE FIRST OFFICAL BLOG POST! By: Jack, Molly, and Pam Today we got up and went to First United Methodist Church of Shiprock.  Howard led the service, but Jillian, Wes, Barbara, and Molly all spoke at the service about why they go on mission trips and what they get out of them.  We met several of the locals and heard some great stories about a few of them, like Lawrence and Frida... After the service, we had lunch, the team meeting, and packed up to go to the Four Corners Monument.  If you don't know what that is, it is the precise spot where Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, and Utah all come together.  We didn't come here to just get our picture taken like the 50 people waiting in line ahead of us.  We came to play Hacky Sack in 4 states at the same time, and we did it!!!  Nobody expected any group to do that, and several folks not in our group were taking our pictures doing it. We spent 2 minutes trying our best to get everyone to kick the hacky sack.  I am

The Divine Harmonica

This is a panoramic view on top of the mesa behind Jessie's house (featuring Molly, of course).  Today several of us climbed the rocky hill behind the house we were working at. We scaled the mighty cliff at varying speeds and to different heights. Upon reaching the top of the rocky beast we saw a canyon over yonder and decided to explore its depths. We were also blessed with magnificent views of the Shiprock and the other formations around us. Others of us also played hacky sack up  there as well, luckily the sack did not fall in. Repeatedly we have been amazed by the beauty of the landscape we are surrounded by. No matter which way we look a beautiful view can be seen. The amazing creation of God is on display not only in the land, but in the work of our youth and team. It has been incredible to watch how hard they have all worked for those we have served. I have seen how these youth have all reached new heights. (Wes) This was the view of the canyon after we

Hey guys! I'm back, It's Molly! First off I will apologize that there are no Bob pictures posted tonight because it is late and I am VERY tired because we have been busy, busy bees; I haven't even had time to call home in two days (Sorry Mom love you miss you). Today has been a wild and tiring day filled with lots of amazing God moments. We started off our day early (as always sadly .... I am NOT a morning person at all) and headed out to do some repair work at the church we went to on Sunday since we had finished at Jessie's house. We painted and replaced siding all day and I had the honor to play around for a bit with Frank's adorable 7 year old grandson AND WE GOT TO PET DOGS, that was a big highlight for all us youth. After work and dinner we had a special guest come to our house, a Sand Artist,  I will let Jack take it from here... -Molly OK, this is Jack, gonna talk about a couple God moments from today. So most of the men were working on the siding on t
