Merrily We Roll Along

One week of work has been completed here at Lake Swan. That just doesn't seem possible!! On some projects, our "to-do" list is very long and it seems we have barely scratched the surface of all they need before we leave. This month seems to be a little easier in regard to what they are needing. Also, since there are only 3 couples working this month, we are getting to work as a group instead of being divided into groups for different assignments. As you see, it has great variety.

The men completed lining and finishing the inside of the walk in cooler for the kitchen. Plus, they have moved a large sink from the middle of the room. Since a new sink will be put back on a wall, that required finding piping, cutting a cement floor etc. to put in the new water/drain lines. Also, one day, they tried putting together a scaffolding. After much trial and error, it was finally determined they had parts for 2 different scaffolds and other missing pieces. That makes for much fun and laughter! The women have enjoyed their time around sewing machines shortening curtains etc. for the cabins. The office workers have come to check out all the laughter.

Lake Swan is a special place for us to work. Our senior high youth group from UCC have traveled here for spring break for many years. It is a pretty place with a couple of lakes, spanish moss and live oak trees. Today, the sun is shining brightly and the lakes are reflecting the bright blue skies.

We feel so blessed meeting so many new couples in doing this ministry. Many of them become old friends whether we officially work with them again with RVICS or not. Since we have been at this location, we have reconnected (in person) with a couple of them. In both cases, it had been about 3 years since we last physically visited with each other, but when we got together it was if no time had passed at all!

Since the weather hasn't been the greatest these past days, we are all anticipating the sunny, warm conditions forecast for the coming week. After all, we are in Florida. Tomorrow, will find us back at it again, ready and happy to start another week of work.
