January 2011 finds us once again on an RVICS project in Florda. A week ago we headed south from Indiana and drove down in perfect January weather. (That doesn't always happen!)
This month we are in Lakeland, Florida, at the Florida Baptist Childrens' Home. We haven't learned all the details of this place yet but are meeting with the director tonight to hear "their story". We do know that there are cottages here with house parents and about 8-10 children (all ages) per cottage. It is such fun to see them outside playing, laughing and biking. During the day, it is quiet as they go to public schools.
This month we are a RVICS group of 5 couples representing 4 states---Indiana, Wisconsin, Iowa and Montana. Another couple (hopefully) will be joining us in a few days from West Virginia. Once again, it is great to catch up with 2 of the couples that we have worked with before and getting to know the other 2 couples.
There seems to be lots of work to be done and the staff had it all ready to go yesterday morning. The above picture is of the men doing their first work on repairing soffit and siding on a garage.
In the next post, I hope to tell more of our jobs and more about this place we are working. In the meantime, I need to prepare for work today------------
