Work is progressing quickly. This past week the men completed a sewer line from a house straight down (literally) a hill. There are now 3 new lights around the chapel. Building no. 1 is now demolished and the second building is now almost down. One group of ladies is still cleaning chairs. They have figured there are over 700 chairs in the chapel---they have a few to go. Sharon and another lady are still working on the walls and painting the room for the cleaning ladies’ office etc.
On Tuesday night, our group made a large campfire (yes, it was needed!) and got the hot dogs and all the fixings out. Delicious. On Friday night the director of the camp invited the group to his home for a spaghetti supper.
One of the highlights of the week was our tour of Bush Brothers factory nearby where the Bush Beans are canned. In fact, Ball Brothers has a can factory right out the back door that sends the cans to Bush Brothers. It was very interesting hearing the story of this family. Included was a tour of the family home that was built a hundred years ago but had been totally renovated. The company is still family owned. Jed Bush is a fourth generation member. Duke (in all their ads) is now the fourth one being used and is the first male Duke. Yes, we did bring home beans and some chili!
The leaves are getting more and more color to them daily. Today, the everything is crystal clear. Gaylene Holloway and I had been looking at the mountain behind our RVs since we have been here. This afternoon we climbed it! It took a little bit of time since it was a steep grade. There is a rustic camp at the top that goes with Carson Springs. It was more than worth the trip the climb.
It seems almost impossible that we are moving deep into October. Please continue to remember us in prayer.
