SOME of us saw the sights...
At each stop we made along the way we were bombarded by local support! Everyone stopped to find out who we were and what we were planning to do. People were even talking about the blog! Having so much support energized us, even along the long and exhausing road.
We arrived at the Joplin Family Worship Center, where we will be helping around 7ET. We toured their church and were amazed at the mounds of donations that they have recieved and how quickly they are distributed out. Looking forward to adding to the mounds when the truck arrives!
From the Worship Center, we took a quick drive to see the area devastated by the tornado. Everywhere you look there are signs of damage, and yet, there are so many signs of hope and of the community coming together to help one another. We can't wait to join them!
Finally, we made it to the Gathering Place, the beautiful home that we will be staying in for the next week. We met so many new friends from all around the country. We'll post some pictures of it later. It was late when we made it in!
