RE: mission trip
Yea I've done things like that with my church. Last year we went to western NY and this year we went to the great lakes. Nothing too exciting has happened like you had but they were fun. In western NY we built a deck with a ramp and this year we put an alumnium roof on a mobile home painted it and put on skirting. Then we also finished putting shingles on another roof. The shingles we did half the house in 6 hours with the help of 10 people. Hope you had fun!
