The Arch in St LouisHalf of the team has arrived in Joplin after an overnight stay in St Louis, MO. While in St. Louis, Pam, Emily, Kris, Carrie, Dan and Mary took the opportunity to walk downtown to see the Arch. It is an understatement to say the Arch is an amazing architectural design, and what it represents and holds at its core, it also amazing and inspiring. To think of our ancestors exploring this great country and traveling West to lands unknown for a better life reminds me a little of the reason we are here in Joplin, to help families improve their lives through owning a house they can call home!
The rest of the team is in route to Joplin and due to arrive within the next few hours. It will be exciting to be together for our Welcome Dinner at Immanuel Lutheran Church. We'll learn more about the impact of the 2011 tornadoes and how Joplin is rebuilding for the future. Our orientation will also help us prepare for the build days ahead of us and learn more about the partner families we'll be helping. More will be shared later today as we officially come together for our build experience...
