Prattsville,NY Disaster Response Trip:Bill

The first of two trips to this quite mountain community was in Dec. 2012. Bill traveled with David Braun to do the Lords work for a week, then return with David's brother Adam. Adam has committed a year of service through Brethren Volunteer Service. He will be at one of our disaster response sites for the year ending Sept. 2013. We had a wonderful week working on the interior of Mike and Kelly's. Doing trim work throughout the house, plus flooring throughout. It was such a spiritual week helping,plus so much fellowship with homeowners, and fellow volunteers from other congregations in our denomination.Working right up to Christmas made this time even more meaningful. This was Bill's 39th trip and for many reasons it was as eventful as any. Funny how that works out. Each trip brings more for the volunteer than is given to the homeowners, although we work very hard to give our all for each homeowner. We have already planned the next trip in February.
