The Beauty in Adventure

This day began with a welcoming breakfast provided by our new habitat family here in Richmond.  We were able to meet the president of the Habitat for Humanity (HFH) Madison and Clark counties, who informed us that since this HFH was founded, they have built a total of 102 houses for local families!!! Today we actually began working on the latest home!  We were able to assemble multiple outside walls in habitat's warehouse and will hopefully be completing all the walls of the home in the next day or so.

After a long day of hammering hundreds of nails, we headed again towards Berea in hopes of exploring some of the hiking trails.  Even though we were sent on a few detours, we  arrived to the exact trail we were searching for all along!  We had the opportunity to witness our first Kentucky sunset on top of what felt like a little mountain top.  This was a great time to sit and admire all of God's beauty through nature.  

After hiking quite a few miles, we went to a local restaurant called Papa Leno's for dinner. This restaurant was pointed out to us by close to ten people telling us just how amazing their food is - and boy were they right!!!

 It's days like these where we experience wonderful contributions small towns have to offer to those lucky enough to visit.
