MISSION
We set out for the Bluegrass hills of Kentucky to help two nuns
in their mission to bring love and services to the people of Olive Hill
and the surrounding towns.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Our number one accomplishment was how much we learned about what
you can do with a big heart. We met amazing people doing unbelievable things
because they cared about each other and the people of their community.
The token things that we were able to do was paint the community learning
center and form super strong relationships through mentoring students at
the local high school. The majority of our work was at the community center,
where we painted, learned how and installed the ceiling, did some outdoors
work, and put our money into the thrift store.
ENTERTAINMENT
The very first night we hit up the local Bluegrass Folk Festival
and heard some quality bluegrass. Our favorite was the grandfather and
grandson playing together. Late night diners and ice cream was fun, but
the best entertainment was probably being in the kitchen while we whipped
up dinner. Sometimes we had Joanne, Sarah, and others that we worked with
join us for one of our creations! A road trip to hopping Lexington was
in order by the end to remind ourselves of what a city is like.
