This was the welcome that we received at Shocco Springs Baptist Conference Center in Talladega, Alabama. Since arriving here on Thursday afternoon, we have had nearly 4 inches of rain, tornado warnings, flood warnings and, now, the snow. Since we are in the south, the natives are thrilled and excited to have snow. Churches cancelled services. However, our leaders Ralph & Shirley Rose are from New York state and, from the picture above, took it all in stride Spring is just around the corner. Yesterday, our RVICS friends from Huntsville, Alabama (who have joined us for the month of March) brought over spring flowers that she had picked from her yard before they left on Friday.
This month begins are 3rd year doing RVICS projects. That seems impossible. However, this is the first repeat of a a location. Previously, we were here in November. This is a busy place. When we came in, there were groups of spring breakers here from churches. In addition, the camp ground is full with 4 other RVs. There will be 12 (6 couples) working this project. The last couple will pull in tomorrow after having to go home from our project in Florida last month for a family emergency. The additional couple are actually retired RVICS but, since they live so close, were able to join us for the month. We have worked with them before and were happy to hear that they were coming.
Assignments for work have not been given out as yet. But, the rumor is the men will be painting and the women doing kitchen and laundry duty. Once again, we are ready to get started.
Please pray for safety as we work. Also, a little warmer weather would be greatly appreciated too!
