Our Lake Swan project has been completed. This will go down as a favorite. We loved the staff, worked very hard and left the camp in a better physical condition than when we arrived. The electric company had not arrived to bring the power from the pole but that is OK because those that follow will enjoy it. Everyone in the group said that they wanted to work there again in the future.
As is always the case, the hard part of the project is saying goodbye. Larry & Gaylene had to return to Indiana (snow & cold!). Everyone is missing them already. The remaining couples along with us have gone to a new project that we will begin on Monday at Camp Tracey, Glen St. Mary, Florida. Another couple from Michigan have now arrived to make our group 5 couples once again. We worked with them on a Michigan project last year and they are a great addition to this group. In addition to our RVICS group, there are 2 couples here from the SOWERS (Canadian) plus a young couple staying here that do prison ministry. The campsite is full!!
In a future blog I will tell more about this camp as we learn more. Basically, it is a ministry to teens that are one step from jail. (One boy was really interested in our truck---can that be good?) It is a working farm and the kids do all the work etc. Our view from our back window is of cows and barns. We will be eating meals with them (boys and girls are separate) and have already had lunch with 4 boys. We will learn alot, I am sure.
Please continue to pray for us as we work here. Right now, we have no idea what we might be doing but we wish to be useful.
