Training ended yesterday after load-up day and a talent show on Friday, and then a comissioning service yesterday. We drove to Johnson County with a detour in Johnson City to pick up more ladders- yay! The last section of our drive is represented very accurately by the picture, it was definitely a fun drive :) We met our neighboring county, Carter County in Elizabethton for dinner last night, and we passed the covered wagon festival on our way. We then set up our phone and internet in our new center!! I don't have cell service at the center, but should have it around the county. If you want to call our staff office the number is (423) 727-0230. We spent the day today exploring Boone, we went to the Mast General Store and ate at COOKOUT :) Glad I don't have to go without cookout milkshakes all summer. Back at our center I also got a tour of the grist mill on the property, which is beautiful! We have spent the rest of the day setting up the center, taking inventory of everything in the kitchen, and getting in touch with volunteers. I am already missing my friends from the porch, but excited for the next nine weeks in Johnson County!

Kathryn,
ReplyDeleteI wish we'd known you were going to be in Johnson City this weekend, we would have loved to give you a hug and pray for you! We are living in JC now and would love to see you this summer if you have time.
