Here are some photos from the day coming home from the Mission Trip:
And just like that, we were back in Iowa! The Cyclone State! A successful trip! Perhaps my favorite week of the year! One more set of pictures tomorrow and then you’ll have to track me down is you want to hear about the mission trip… or will you…
Pictures from the last working day of the Saint Paul Mission Trip:
Day 4 of the Mission Trip is always highly emotional. The large group worship service ends with a foot washing ceremony. Then church time is usually very emotional as people begin to realize that the lives that they’ve touched and who have touched their lives, they won’t be seeing those people tomorrow. It is just an incredibly peaceful and serene evening. One of my favorites from the mission trip.
Pictures from Day 3 of the Mission Trip!
It is not an unimportant fact the Boone First United Methodist Church went undefeated in dance battles on this day.
More from the Mission Trip. These are from Day 2:
More from this transformational experience on the morrow!
Here are a few of the photos from Day 0 and Day 1 of the recent mission trip to Saint Paul (I didn’t take all these photos, even though I wish I could be at multiple places at the same time):
As usual, it was an incredible trip! If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I love talking about the mission trip, even though most people get sick of hearing about it.
Last year’s Battle for the Cup came down to a tie again this year. Instead of having a rigged turtle race to determine The Witch, the two tied combatants decided to roll with an old fashioned Pie In Your Face competition.
Here are a few pictures from the battle:
Michelle is the new The Witch. There was a peaceful transfer of power from Cathie to Michelle at Zeno’s in Marshalltown. A good time was had by all.
By the time that this publishes, I should be on the road to Saint Paul with 3 other “adults” and 14 youth from my church for a mission trip.
If you are in the Minnesota, there is a chance you might be able to join us for a community dinner on Thursday night. You’d have to text me for details if that interested you.
However, if you aren’t in Minnesota, the best way to follow this adventure is to get on your phone. Get on Instagram. Follow @boonefumcyg. If you don’t have a phone, but do have a computer, you can follow us at the following URL:
Now there isn’t a ton of time to be dinking around with the social medias when you are doing
All the good you can, in all the ways you can, to all the souls you can, in every place you can, at all the times you can, with all the zeal you can, as long as ever you can.
However, there will be a handful of pictures posted each day, I’d guess. You might even see sweet pictures like the following:
Also, on Sunday, July 2, in between services, the members of the mission trip will be giving their testimony about the mission trip. In Fellowship Hall. So if you’re interested, you should show up for that.
These are the pictures that didn’t have what it takes to be be included in the PORTRAIT theme for the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE:
If only these pictures believed in themselves, no telling what they could accomplish!
This is the your reminder that this week’s theme for the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE is PORTRAIT:
Happy photo harvesting!
I spent most of my Memorial Day enjoying my day off. Watching old war movies and grilling with the family. But the highlight of my day was seeing Nora for the first time in WAY TOO LONG! Which is completely my fault, but an error in my judgment that I will fix in the future. Hopefully on a trip to Manhattan, Kansas in July!
Here are a few pictures from our trip to the Kiddy Corral.
Nora also brought Bethany, Dae Hee, and Jim with her. Very thoughtful of her!
