Off to a Good Start

Yes, the waiting is over and the work and (as you can see above) the play has begun.    The Hoosiers are definitely outnumbered in this group.   We find we are the only members of this team without a Michigan heritage of some kind.    Two of the couples are currently residents and the third couple have deep roots in this state.   However, we all of the related in Christ!!

Spring Hill Camp in Evart, Michigan, is massive in physical size covering nearly 1000 acres.   With the large physical size, it reaches many age groups in many different ways year round.   In our small way, over the next month we will make some parts of it better.

The first week found the women counting, counting and doing, more counting with the inventory of the camp store.    Some of us, also, found some things we felt we just couldn't do without and purchased to take with us.   The men spent their week replacing &/or repairing soffitt on the dining hall.   Along with that job, one or two of them stained some pillars etc. on the same building.   It looks much better.  Variety is good.   Next week will find the men and women doing different jobs.

The weather was absolutely perfect this week to do about anything outside.   As a group we took advantage and had a campfire one evening---yes, there were s'mores.   For tour to finish the week, we got a real inside look at the Amish community located nearby.   It was very interesting to visit inside 3 of their factories and spend time in their school.

For the weekend, we have gone our separate ways but come Monday, it will be time to help out once again.
