Day 8 | Megan Frame

Yesterday was 19 hours in a vehicle! I’m exhausted but made so many memories and got to see so many things at yellowstone! God’s handiwork was incredible and I was just in awe. Today I got to work VBS for the first time. I had a ton of fun playing with the kids and sharing the lesson. I got to meet a Native American girl my age named Zhane. She was very sweet and asked a lot of questions so we got to know each other better. I’m excited to see her again tomorrow. I cannot believe that our week is almost over.. It flew by so fast! I talked to mom today and she asked whether I was hooked on mission trips now. I say absolutely! I hope I get to do another one soon. Today we also nailed down the plywood floor in Kenny’s house. We knocked it out in 45 minutes! However it was hot! I think someone said 102?! I’m sad to leave but also can’t wait to get home. It’s been such a blessing to be a part of this trip. I’ve learned so many things about so many people. :)

Day 6 | Megan Frame

We finished the rock pile today! Thankfully it wasn’t quite as hot as yesterday. We passed so many rocks back and forth and then started running out of rocks so we had to go back over everything we had already put down to get rocks that were too thick in some places. Then after we had got all those we were on our hands and knees digging in the dirt to find any possible rocks to fill in empty spots. Huge shout out to Emily Conley who kept us energized all day and who barely took a break to get it finished! We are very thankful to have it done. We are leaving for yellowstone at 5 am tomorrow so I am going to bed soon. I’m still super excited to be here but I still miss some people back home :) Thanks for the prayers

Day 5 | Megan Frame

Today was our first day of work! It was so HOT! About one o’clock the thermostat on the car read 107 degrees! We were in full sun from around 10:45am to 3:00pm. I don’t think I got burnt, thankfully. After about an hour of picking up rocks and passing rocks and throwing rocks ranging anywhere from a football to a baseball in size, I started getting some anger in my heart thinking about what a non-important job. Who was going to notice anyway? And then I started hearing the Lord speak to my heart…and by the time I got finished today, I’m still not “thrilled” with the job, but I’m realizing that more than just helping the people out here, I’m able to allow the Lord to work in my heart and change my attitude. Thanks for the prayers. Love and miss everyone at home!

Day 4 | Megan Frame

Well, it’s only the first day and we’ve already had so many adventures. I cant even imagine what the next week holds! We went to take showers last night… with no hot water!! It was so cold, I think that we completed them in 60 seconds. Bill didn’t lie about the mosquitoes! After we got here I almost got carried off! Thankfully my bug spray is working and I only have two bug bites so far. I slept ok since the air conditioner started working and then we started freezing, but that’s all part of the experience! I’m excited to start work tomorrow, even though I have no idea what we’re doing. :) Please keep us in your prayers as we continue to serve the Lord. Love and Miss to Mom and Moriah

Day 1 | Megan Frame

This is my first mission trip out of county. I am super excited to be able to serve the Lord in this way. Even though we didn’t do much today (mostly slept), it was still a very enjoyable day. I have never been further west than Ohio, so to be able to see Indiana, Illinois and to be in Iowa is amazing and surreal. The Lord blessed us with a beautiful sunrise just outside Dayton, Ohio to start the morning and we had mostly sunny and clear weather the rest of the trip. We had an incredible Bible time this evening, I’ve already made a ton of memories and I’m very anxious to see what adventures tomorrow holds!
