Shawnettee Church

We arrived in West KY and started immediately with mudding and taping drywall for tornado victims in Dawson Springs. We were able to get a good 4 hours of work in on day one and are excited to start again in the morning.

We finally got to start on our original assigned project this morning. The day started by listening to Scott's story of the night of the tornado. His dog woke him up just as the tornado hit and threw his trailer into a tree. He's blessed to be alive and was so thankful for our help.

We spent all day sanding and remudding Scott's house. It felt like an uphill battle at first, but by the end of the day we had hope that paint will be going on the walls tomorrow. 

Last night we were blessed to share a Thanksgiving meal, communion, worship, and time in the Word with our host church, Parkview UMC. It was a beautiful time of connection and fellowship, and we got to see so many ways God knits our hearts together with the common thread of Jesus.

*Unfortunately our leader fell asleep before finishing this post last night. She is sorry.

Last day of work. We need to finish sanding, clean, prime, and put in two coats of paint. Can we do it???
