Old Union 2024 Mission Trip - July 25, 2024

 Thursday - July 25, 2024 Hello y'all, It's Thursday and it's a special day!  It's somebody's birthday.   But let me start from the beginning. It started out as a misty,  cloudy, dreary day in Buckhorn, KY.  Don't dispair though as the sun came out around 9 a.m. and the day was off to a great start!  While we were enjoying our breakfast, Peter was still trying to fix his phone.  Dave, Lorene, Mary Rae, Geoffrey, and Sally put together today's crafts while I was eating breakfast. The crafts consisted of a Holy Water Spirit Bubble Machine and a cross with the Bible verse from Thess. 5:11, "Encourage one another and build each other up."  That's the Old Union Presbyterian Church motto. Oh, I forgot to mention earlier in the week, Mary Rae met up with us on Tuesday night.  Why did she show up so late?  Well, she was attending the New Wilmington Mission Conference, in New Wilmington, PA which ran from Friday to Wednesday.  Mary Rae ...

Old Union 2024 Mission Trip - July 26, 2024

 Friday - July 26, 2024 Today is Friday!  TGIF.  This day started out rather cloudy with a mist hanging over the surrounding mountain tops.  And ...oops, I'm sorry, this is starting to sound like a broken record.  I'm beginning to think a lot of mornings start off like that around here in Buckhorn.  I was hoping to see the sun come up over the mountain tops just once.   During breakfast, Pastor Peter showed us a video on his lap top of his motorcyle ride at the "Tail of the Dragon" in TN while he was on his sabbatical a few years ago.  It is a very windy road, much like what we have been driving on this week in Buckhorn. This morning we woke earlier than the other days to be ready to leave at 8:30 a.m.  A few of us stayed behind and went down to the gym while the others went up to Chevies, KY to the building we had worked at on Monday to pick up the remainder of the boxes, the ones leftover from yesterday.  The delivery team consist...

Old Union 2024 Mission Trip - July 24, 2024

 Wednesday - July 24, 2024 Hello y'all! Once again we started the day with an awesome group of Buckhorn kids.  Today, our group was half the size, but still the 12 kids that came were willing participants in crafts of cross beads and suncatchers.  Pastor Peter started the day with energizing songs, such as the song "I've Got Joy!"  The kids loved when Pastor Peter sang it in a giant voice, a tiny voice, and a normal voice.  He also taught the kids a song that started loud then slowly got softer and softer, though at the end of every stanza the kids (as well as the adults) shouted loudly "Tarzan of the Apes".  I think the whole Buckhorn valley was ringing with the shouting.  He also taught the kids a song about a "Moose"-with various names, "the moose called Bob was such a slob, the moose called Bruce he liked to drink juice etc.   For these songs, the kids tried, as well as the adults, to clap and learn the hand motions.  This got the ch...
