New Ceiling and Some Paint

After a week of working here at Lake Swan Camp, things are looking very different in the renovated building.   All the ceilings have been put up in the 5 rooms with a little trim work yet to be done.   In addition, the ladies have primed and started putting on the top coat of paint.   What a difference!   In a day or two, the ceilings and painting will be done in those rooms.   After that the men will continue with new doors and new flooring.   Wow, it is exciting to see the changes.   The camp staff is even more excited than we are.   In addition to our work, other staff and volunteers have installed the tile in the bathrooms.

This coming week will be our first week with all of team members here!   The last couple arrived on Wednesday after time with family for a funeral.    Another gal is returning today after being with her daughter for the birth of her first granddaughter.    As a team, we come alongside each other in both sadness and celebration!

With all our work on the camp facilities, we have seen the camp in use during our time here.   There is a church start up meeting every Sunday in an old chapel on the campus.   Also, groups have come on the weekends using all that is available here.   This is why we do this work.    The camp exists to come along the Christian community to spread the Word.

This afternoon, all is quiet.   The church has gone home and the group, also, has left.   It is good to experience some of the nice things about being here.   Down by the lake it is quiet except for the lapping of the waves on the beach and the wind blowing through the pines overhead.   It is good to be in Florida in the winter time in multiple ways!!
