2016 SUMMER MISSION TRIP TO WISE, VIRGINIA

In July 2016, the youth and some adults from Dublin United Methodist traveled to Wise, Va.  It was a short drive of two and one-half hours.  The team totaled eighteen.  Four ladies cooked the food for our meals and twelve youth and six adults worked on the project. 

We were assigned to work on a trailer home that had two additions that were placed on the trailer several years ago.  The home was owned by a lady around seventy years of age plus she had taken in her daughter and two grandchildren.

The week prior to us arriving another team of approximately fifty individuals had replaced her roof and had put up T-11 siding.  Our job was to finish painting the outside, install fascia aluminum covers, install soffitts, repair ceilings in three rooms inside the house, and guttering in four and one-half days. 






Ladies that cook and keep us nourished.






 
 
 
I must say the trip was a great experience for all the individuals.  The youth worked well together and were always asking what they could do next.  If they did not know how to accomplish a task they were willing to learn.  I am proud to have attended this trip with the youth and other adults.
