It seems like only yesterday that we arrived and yet, it seems like such a long time ago that we left. Today, we leave Joplin and return home to Hastings, NE. I feel comfortable speaking for the rest of the group when I say that we have all come out of this touched by something. Whether it was the work we did, the stories we heard, or the things we saw; each and every one of us has experienced something greater than ourselves this week.
We set out at the beginning of the week to fulfill a mission. That mission was to put our faith into action through our service in Joplin. While there are so many more projects to be done, so much more money that needs to be donated, and so many stories left to hear; I can say that I believe we have fulfilled our mission here this week. There is still so much to be done, but I believe that the 2012 Go & Serve team from First Presbyterian Church in Hastings has left its mark on Joplin and Joplin has left its mark on us.
All there is left to do is to pack up, clean up, load up and head for home.
God Bless
