A couple of years ago, I spent a week in WV. It was for a mission trip so I didn't do much, but it was still fun! When we weren't cleaning yards or painting fences, we learned.
We mainly learned about religious things, but also about West Virginia. Did you know WV is one of the top states with drug overdoses and deaths? This is why we went there to help out people who were trying to turn their lives around.
There were a lot of fun things to do without having to spend money--we played kickba ll, swam in the river, hide-and-seek in the church at 1am... We slept on the basement floor and took turns using the two showers. Once, we showered in the river! It was a week of good deeds and good times. We even saved a turtle from getting crushed in the middle of the road.
Adventures like these are things I'll never forget: memories for life.
