Week #1 is now history on this project at Youth Haven Ranch. As we do more and more projects for RVICS, we find that all of them are different and unique as are the ministries. This has been a “lighter” work load (to this point) than we are accustomed.
The ladies have done deep cleaning for most of the week. The hardest project for the men has been repairing a garage door—which they have now finished. Next week will bring out the paint brushes. Also, there are many donated back packs here that need to be filled with toys. These will need to be done while we are here.
We basically had a one day disruption to our work on Wednesday. A new, half hour TV program for Christian TV called Significant Living is being produced at this time. Significant Living will highlight retirees who are making a difference after retirement from their full time occupations. RVICS was selected for one of the programs and, more specially, they came and spent Wednesday with our group interviewing and videoing our work. It was very interesting but, from the groups’ stand point, a very long day. TV programming is not glamorous! The program for RVICS will not air until January.
RVICS men work 21 hours per week and the women work 12 hour per week. Fridays are “tour day”. Today was special. There is another project for RVICS nearby. We spent the day with this group of 5 couples. One of the couples we had done a previous project in Texas. As we meet more and more people doing projects, it is great to see friends again. Our tour today was to the Jiffy Mix factory and Thetford factory. We left the Jiffy Mix factory with samples of food. Thetford makes most of the products used in the waste tanks of the RVs. Samples from them were very welcome also.
Thanks again for your prayers.
