Yes, we are having fun!!

As I begin so many of my first blogs, we have begun! This has been a very productive week of worship, work and play.

The week began with worship with the members of our hosts---Dothan Community Church. There is no way a visitor can leave and not feel the genuine love and welcome of these wonderful people. This is our second work trip and we are enjoying our time here as much as the first time.

Work is what brought us to this location and work we did. It was a very hard but rewarding week for the men. It will be mostly (if not all) ceiling work for them. They finished wiring and put in insulation. Now, the 12 foot sections of dry wall are being put in. The above picture is of their survival of another work day. I say survival because we are the "babies" of this group! It is very difficulty work for us retirees! The women spent most of their time at the local crisis pregnancy center stuffing envelops and cleaning baby bottles (used for donations). Also, we did some sorting and cleaning at the church.

Through all the week, we balanced our time with play. The Lovelands (church members) hosted a meal one evening at their lovely home. Another evening, gathered to talk and play games. To finish the week, we went to a botanical garden (yes, from a Hoosier there is such a thing in the middle of October). The flowers were still beautiful and the butterflies were plentiful. On Saturday, Don and I finished our week by going to the showing of Courageous! A must for everyone to see no matter if you are grandparents at this stage in life.

This coming week we will doing much the same type work but the pictures should look a little different---progress!! Also, we are continuing to pray for our missing couple that they might finally be able to leave their Pennsylvania home and head south to join their group.
