Yes, we are now whole. The last couple who has been constantly in our prayers arrived safely Thursday evening. We are so glad they have now joined our team! This is an added blessing for all of us.
What a week of work and, yes, play. Believe it or not, the very looooong ceiling the men have been laboring over is getting closer to the end! All are very thankful that there might be a end time for this job and there just might be some celebrating. Shoulders, arms, backs etc are complaining on all of them! Plus, they worked on it a few 90+ degrees days. A few of them have done some other odd jobs the past few days, such as installing a shelf and doing electrical jobs. The list is still long of our jobs too.
The women aren't bored with their work. Some days, they have been doing multiple tasks. Painting, office work, cleaning containers, cleaning sanctuary chairs, attaching ribbons to tags (for balloons) categorizing and sorting library books, etc were many of the jobs performed this week. It is exciting to help with some of the ministries of the church.
Once again, we were able to visit a home and fellowship with one another and a couple of the pastors. This is the place people can really get to know one another. Doughnuts is another avenue to use. A traditional get together for RVICS is something we call "Pop on the Porch". Yesterday, we had doughnuts to go with the pop. Oh, the tales we have heard at Pop on the Porch.
It just doesn't seem possible that two of our weeks are now in the past tense. There is only about a week and a half left here. However, we are looking forward to that time as well.
