The title of the blog says it all----Wow!!! Much has been accomplished this past week. The list of things to be done was very long when we arrived at Dothan Community Church and some items will be undone when we leave. However, the church and our RVICS team feel very good about the differences we are making in our work. The goal of the church is to have enough of the new addition done that it will be in use by the end of summer.
The men have been working multiple projects. One of them with a church member dug ditches with a backhoe (one did this in his past life)and laid a new main line to the church and new water lines to the RVs out back. The new lines are now working. Don painted more bathrooms plus with another man hung dry wall in the new stairways. Others have been building and installing the new stairways. Hopefully, both of them will be finished when we leave.
The women have their sewing machines buzzing. The church has requested 17 baptismal robes be made. Five of us at a time have been working on them. With many projects we don't see our work actually being used. This morning we will see those robes being worn because 5 people will be baptized!! One lady, at a time, is still scanning slides. We will be doing that on the very last day too.
With all the work, we haven't missed out on playing either. Monday night found us pooling our resources and enjoying a lasagna meal. What fun!! Friday night, a retired RVICS couple treated all of us to a meal at the Golden Corral. Lastly, yesterday we met another RVICS group that is about 30 miles away and spent the day at an ag festival. We have worked with all those with the other RVICS group. That was special to end the week in that way.
With the blooming of the spring trees etc, there is a new spring in our steps. We are once again looking forward to the coming week.
