January & February 2017, Child Evangelism Fellowship, Camp Good News, Hawthorne, FL

January and February 2017 - Spring has sprung!  Loving the warm weather in Florida.

Wayne & I are the only ones here for the month of January, but that's ok.  We have had the privilege of working side by side with Steve Westbrooks and his amazing family as they work diligently to organizing and getting the camp ready for the next season.  Many kids will come for day camp to hear the gospel for the first time in their lives and the kingdom will increase.

Wayne worked hard doing many handy man projects for January.  Fixing a water leak in the RV park, repairing and replacing roofing over the permanent 5th wheel that houses counselors and speakers, electrical projects, preparing for the 3 firewood stations at the fire pits, getting lawnmowers maintained, golf cart running, washing machine repaired in kitchen, and many other small engine repairs.  Gail cleaned the ice machine, cleaned the stove and ovens, got all the laundry caught up, organized and cleaned the laundry room, purged out of date pantry items in the kitchen and painted 2 podiums used for speakers.  Also Gail was able to work 3 Wednesdays at a local elementary school during Child Evangelism hours.  It was fun to work with the children one on one.  There is so much work yet to be done.

The Oliveria's joined us for the month of February.  During the Jan/Feb break Wayne drove Gail home to be with her parents during a transition period for their healthcare.  The men constructed the 3 firewood stations and laid ceramic tile in the camp office.  Barbara painted many outside doors that were in need of beautification.

While Gail was in NC she was able to spend time with Lilly.  She spent 2 nights at the Holland's putting smiles on many faces, that's her job!  She played with her cousin Caleb and spent time at the Buffalo Creek Vineyard with lots of family.  So much fun.  Thank you Lord for beautiful Spring weather.

card playing secrets (cheating)!!






What a diverse 2 months.  Work, play, fellowship and meeting new people.  RV crazy?!

Now back to NC to work at CIT in Union Mills NC again so that we can be close to Shelby to get our taxes done for 2016.  Till then........
