Can We Be This Close to Going Home?

Week #3 of this project has been completed. Time is moving by very quickly. This past week was very much like the 2 weeks that came before. Don and the men painted the observatory and Sharon worked cleaning etc. with the ladies. This coming weekend the donors that keep this ranch going are gathering for their annual banquet. Everything has to be “ship shape”. We have been invited to attend but all of the RVICS volunteers will be back to their hometowns by that time.

We have continued to have visitors while we are here. One day another RVICS couple stopped by that, also, lives in Michigan. We will be meeting them again in November on a project in Alabama. Today, friends of our leaders came by for a visit. This is a good way to see how we, as RVICS couples, live and the type of jobs that we do. Maybe they will be joining us on a project themselves?

Volunteers are always needed as RVICS has to turn down many applications that they receive every year do due lack of volunteers that are willing to go. We find the rewards are well worth the aching muscles etc. that we might have. You can’t buy the satisfaction that we find in helping others make their ministries better.

On Thursday after we finish the project around noon, we will once again hook the truck to the 5th wheel and head south to Hartford City. Thank you for supporting us with prayer during this past month.
