We've made it to Henderson Settlement in Appalachia

We have made it to Henderson Settlement in Frakes, Kentucky – all 54 of us! Some of us got caught in a huge traffic backup on the way here – road construction! And some of us took a little detour - and noticed colors in the trees. (Spring)! Regardless, we all arrived safely. Tonight we held a powwow to form work crews, and got to know each other by playing a game that combined name recognition, our servant-hero (some folks from church were named!), and Red-Rover-Red Rover.

We are looking forward to tomorrow’s projects which may include digging (the youngsters on this trip are really looking forward to this), painting, greenhouse work (my personal favorite), replacing decking, putting on porch railing, and probably projects we don’t even know about yet!  (It also depends on the weather.) They’ve been telling us to be patient and flexible – the two keys to a successful mission trip! Here’s hoping.
