Week one was very productive. After the week was finished, all of us felt muscles we didn't know we had. However, the women have all the AC filters cleaned in the window AC units. With the exception of a tiny spot (where a cabinet needs to be moved), the kitchen floor in the youth camp now sports a new coat of paint. The women have started painted a couple of bathrooms that will take some time to do. The men have a good start of installing new ceiling lights in the motel rooms. Plus, Don and Tracey are repairing (major) 2 tiny bathrooms in the rec field. From this, you can see where we are now beginning on Monday!
The Florida weather took a U-turn the past few days. Fortunately, we missed a major storm that came through but we ended up with very heavy rain but no damage. What was left were very cool temps. That will change soon and be back to comfortable, dry weather again.
The RV parking is full! There are 4 RVICS couples working for our team. Also, there were 6 couples representing Campers on a Mission here the first of the week. Two of those couples left and 3 other couples came in. We do no work with them but it is nice talking with them and getting to know them as well. Also, at a local Lowe's parking lot yesterday morning, we met another RVICS couple that we didn't know from Indiana! They had been delayed going to another project in Florida due to a death in their family. It is a small world!
As you can see from the above picture, this is another beautiful place. Don and I have been living on our bicycles since Blue Springs covers many acres with 2 different areas of buildings. It is good to go outside and enjoy nature in a lawn chair too. Two and a half weeks more to enjoy our time here. More to come-----------
