This has been a good week with seeing the completion of a few of the projects that we had started. Whether we are at home or with RVICS, being able to see the results is always fullfilling.
As always, the men seem to get more done than the ladies. (They do work more hours!) One of the men worked nearly all week with electrical projects. The building of a part of a fence and gate (including digging the post holes) was accomplished by the others. All of the demolition has been finished in the one building. There is one less water leak too----that is not to say that they found another one that will get their attention come Monday.
A few of the ladies added painting to their list of duties this week. With the painting done, the gift/snack shop is once again open for business. It is a more pleasant place to shop now. Work was continued on the mailing that we have been working on since are arrival. The director was excited to tell us of his praises. Already, he is getting response to the flyers.
Life does continue even as we are away from home. It was sadness this week that we had to bid goodbye to one of our couples as they got word of the death of a close relative. We, as members of one team, in the course of a month experience both laughter, tears, good news and bad. They become our family away from home.
With 2 more days of work, we are looking ahead to being able to once again be back in Indiana and to see our family again.
