Week one at Lake Aurora is now history. It was a week of contrasts. On Monday we piled on multiple layers of clothing to keep warm working on our various projects. By the time Saturday rolled around we were in "summer" type attire. We much prefer the more summer type temps.
As you can see by the picture above, the men did finish the fence work that they were working on at the Gold N Bough Cafe (breakfast & lunch only) that the camp runs on their property. A couple of men are still putting on siding on one side of the building.
Three of the men have moved on to other work. We are surrounded by orange groves (and juicing factories). There are numerous citrus trees on the property too that help supplement the income of the camp. When the weather turns extremely cold, water is pumped onto the trees to keep them from freezing. We were told that a single pump can pump up a million gallons of water in a day! The picture above is the diesel pump on this property (huge thing). The shelter that is built over it needs extensive repairs with the rafters etc. This isn't fun work but is necessary. Don will be busy for a few days working on this.
Sharon and the ladies pulled multipe staples from walls, tables etc around the property last week. Before that, we sewed potholders for the kitchen out of towels. This saved the camp many dollars. Do you know how much a single potholder costs ----$9!! Tomorrow, we will once again dig out the paint brushes and begin painting.
What will this week bring? We are excited to find out what the Lord has in store for us.
