...from Sarah R and Jenn H

Greetings and Salutations. This week we had the privilege of serving the Appalachian People of Kentucky. Through the experience we learned about the negative effects of the coal mining industry in Kentucky and how something that seemed so brilliant at the time could have such long lasting effects...and how it manifests itself in both the material poverty and spiritual poverty. We also explored the rich culture of Kentucky learning about "hollars" and how we were from "Canadia". Eating yummy food like biscuits and gravy beans and grits. And seeing adorable puppies and the occasional monkey dog. We are looking forward to sharing more with you when we get home!!! from Sarah and Jenn PS. Laura and Renee we wish you were hereand are looking forward to telling you our stories when we get back.
