One More Monday

It's always interesting to watch a new group of volunteers adjust to being at an MDS camp. The group this week has only a couple of people that did some MDS work down in Louisiana. For the rest, this is an entirely new experience. There are 15 youth (and 5 adults) all from the same church youth group. For a country girl used to small churches, it's hard to imagine being in a youth group that large -- and I understand that not all of the group came! This is the first group that has brought a guitar with them. We had music for devotions this morning and the fellow has been sitting out on the deck playing most of the evening -- kinda nice.

I feel like I spent the whole day either in meetings or on the telephone. When everyone reports at dinner what they did during the day, I always feel like I don't have much to show for what I accomplished. Forry spent much of his day up at House #1 attending to some of the items on the "punch list" from the inspector. He's having to put dimmer switches on the lights in the bedrooms, hall and bathroom -- saves energy, don't you know?!

I took this picture Sunday afternoon just as the sun was setting over the hills. The yellow flowers just glowed when the sun hit them.

I was pretty excited this afternoon when we got confirmation from the MDS Office in Akron, PA that Diane Gering from our home church is coming down from Washington on the 18th to cook for the camp for a week. It will be great to have someone from home!

This evening we had a nice chat on the telephone with our dear friends, Vic and Phyl. That's the one thing wrong with this roaming, gypsy RV life we've chosen -- we really miss family and friends!
