After half a year of preparation, our mission trip to serve the people of Iowa City was over in a matter of a few days. After being commissioned during the service on the 2nd of August, we departed for Iowa in hopes of being God’s hands and feet for those who experienced the flood that occurred last summer. But as seems to happen in these cases, we received just as much in return.
Our team had two primary duties, both of which took place in the same neighborhood, an area of 75 homes that happened to be on a flood plain. The water there had risen to about chest-high. One of our jobs was to maintain the neighborhoods landscape. Only about 30 homes have since been repopulated, leaving anumber of yards unattended, and we certainly got our fill of the hot summer sun mowing them!
We were also charged with insulating, dry walling, and painting the garage of Becky and Bob Hall. This we did over the course of our three work days, and we were able to get to know the Halls fairly well in that time. One thing that hit me as we visited was that they were fully capable of putting in the garage themselves. But the emotional weariness of going through something like that is just as exhausting as physical weariness. For them, the simple act of strangers becoming a part of that rebuilding process and helping out was a great relief. One of the members of another group said that the physical work that mission trips do are only about 20% of the actual work that is done. The rest is relief for the people we are serving. This certainly seemed to hold true during our time in Iowa.
