2. What is Mountain TOP??
Mountain TOP is a week long mission trip in the
mountains of Tennessee. Upon arrival we are
put into groups with people we do not know
and that becomes our family and work group
for the week. We embark on three major
service projects for the less fortunate people of
the mountains.
3. DAY ONE PROJECT
We were spent hours building this porch for a family with 16 dogs and a
son with a mental disorder. The porch was just the beginning. The next
day, another group went back and added stairs.
4. DAY TWO AND THREE
For two days we were sent to paint two rooms inside an older couple’s house. This
project was not all work. When lunch time came we sat down with the couple to visit
and one time they would not let us get up because Mr. Frank wanted to keep telling
stories.
5. DAY TWO & THREE
These are the members of my group and the elder couple
we did work for right before we said our goodbyes.
6. DAY FOUR
On day four we were sent very far away from camp to help an elderly man clean up
his yard. Over the years, he had accumulated lots of wood scattered around his
yard. The most dangerous thing about these boards are the nails sticking out of
many of them and his age made it difficult for him to do anything about them.
