Hey all, blog master Amy here welcoming our readers to the Joplin-trip 2017 blog! This week you will get a chance to hear from various students (and leaders) on the trip about our adventures in Joplin, MO. We’ll share with you what we experience in our daily lives for the next week as we serve in the community of Joplin. Whether it’s God-sightings, daily recaps, funny experiences, or random ramblings about who knows what, you can be sure that it will be worth the read. So strap in and get ready for the ride – all 54 of us (don’t worry, Leah and I counted twice) cannot thank you enough for your prayers, love, and support as we undertake this journey together. So without further ado, long live the Oxford comma and I will turn it over to our first bloggers, Paige and Hans!
