Nearing the Finish Line







Fall is coming! This has been an extremely nice month of weather but as the month of September draws to a close we feel October moving in. For the whole month, the team only had to change their work plans for one day because of rain. Everything is dry. We have been surprised that the leaves haven’t turned much but the acorns are really falling and hitting the roof of the RV hard today! Light sweaters have been about the only covering we have needed outside.

This week many projects were completed. Don and Paul finished the fence and it looks great. A ceiling in a bathroom was replaced, shower or two repaired and a new light was installed. The big, heavy job for the week for the men was working on a cabin roof. The old shingles had to be torn off, new tar paper put down and shingled. To this point, about 80% of one side is shingled and 40% of the other side is done. Don and Paul will be replacing a window tomorrow too.

The women waterproofed/stained the gazebo. The windows have been cleaned in most of the cabins with just a few remaining to be done. We have nearly completed the camp’s to do list. They are making up a new list for these last 4 days.

Yes, just 4 more days to go. This project has been alot of hard physical work but the time has gone by quickly. This is a great camp in many ways. The leadership is top notch and the facilities are well cared for. We will leave with great memories and hope to come back someday.

At the end of the week, we will pull out and head back to Hartford City for almost a week. After that time at home, we will go to an October project in Missouri. Four of the couples with us now will travel there also. However, another new couple will be added. In a couple of weeks look for another posting.

Thanks for your prayers and support.
