Reflections from Olivia M.

This week in Asheville, North Carolina was great. We did many different things to help out the community. We went to a veterans home for women and there children, we gardened outside and cleaned on the inside. On the second day my group traveled to the VRQ- house veterans in an old motel, there we weeded, mulched, laid down rocks and raked leaves. Then we ate lunch with some of the veterans! On our last day of work my group went to the beloved house. We helped with the free farmers market and also participated in a bible study. In the afternoon we went to play with kids and made seed bombs with them. On our last day in Asheville we went white water rafting in the morning which was so much fun! In the afternoon we had chick-fil-A on our way to Montreat Conference Center. When we arrived we got some ice cream and walked around the campus and oh my was it gorgeous. After that it was time for the service, it was the most moving service I've ever been too. Many of us had God moments, myself included. The pastors words really spoke to me and it help me understand a lot of things. It tied the whole week up for me and it was a great end to an amazing week. I can't wait for next year!(:
