First Time by Daryl Thomas


This is the first time my husband LT (Larry) and I have participated in the ASP trip. We are so grateful that we are able to be here. We were both a little anxious, because we had no idea what it would be like. We knew we were coming to repair homes, but this week has been so much more than that.

First of all, we are amazed at how organized ASP is, from those at BBPC who are involved in the planning, fundraising, travel maps, cookies, etc. to the ASP staff in WV who plan the activities, chores, repair work, and supplies.

We are also so appreciative of how hard all the kids are working. I say I have the best crew, but LT says his is the best. All the kids are great. And for us, it brings back great memories of all the years we spent teaching.

We are getting to know so many more people from BBPC too!

It has been great meeting getting to know our families. And it feels good to give to people who really need our help. We can go home at the end of the week and be grateful for all that we have.
