November 2019 Lindale, TX
Calvary Commission
We left Anadarko, OK and headed southeast towards our next project in Lindale, TX - Calvary Commission. Calvary Commission is a Bible Seminary where those who have become Jesus followers in prison dedicate their lives to study of the WORD and study for a vocation that they can grow and honor the Lord for the remainder of their lives. Many go on to work in missions and some return to their homes to minister to their families.
Here we are to work by ourselves for one week as Carol Wright needs to stay in Illinois to help out with her mom. Carol continued to stay with her mom for 2 more weeks while Jerry drove the RV to help us out in Lindale. We were so thankful as it helped us to finish a remodel job of the director's master bedroom and bathroom on the campus. After we finished that Gail helped hem black out curtains in the dining hall and office. Wayne & Jerry continued odd jobs which included installing and maintaining LOTS of smoke detectors in MANY buildings! Also, since we were close to the SOWER office in Lindale, we were able to meet up with other SOWERs for a very nice lunch after church one Sunday. Love these mini-reunions. Catch up on all news for all of us.
Wayne continued on with installation of the ceramic tile
on the walls of the master bath shower stall.

| I am soooooo handy with a paint roller in the master bedroom! |
Now the shower stall
is ready for the grouting.
 |
| Time out at a most delicious Mexican Restaurant. North Carolina doesn't match these restaurants. |
Jerry Wright to the rescue!
Jerry drove from Illinois by himself just to help us out. Wayne was especially glad to see him arrive.
 |
| The flooring in this bedroom made all the difference. Gorgeous job Wayne & Jerry. Now that they are experienced - my RV bedroom will be their next project! |
Installation of new fixtures in the bathroom,
vanity, new stool, towel racks, and EVEN
a toilet paper gizmo with a shelf for your
phone. AND a exhaust fan with bluetooth!
 |
| Gail was able to help out in the kitchen on Thursdays. Tight quarters for sure! |
Snack time for the students
was very creative!
 |
| And when the heat unit was on the fritz, just bring the fire inside! That works! |
After Calvary Commission our next project was to be at Camp Tejas in Giddings TX. We stopped at the Garissi's in Bastrop TX for the night so that Wayne could take me to the Austin airport so that I could help out with my mom since she just got out of the hospital in North Carolina. Thanksgiving for me with mom! Wayne joined the other SOWERs at Tejas for Thanksgiving at the Director's house - Paul, Kelli & kids.
 |
| The Garissi's built a home in Bastrop TX and included a stop off for SOWERs with full hookups. What a blessing and they are wonderful hosts. We will be spending Christmas Eve at their house again with 9 other SOWERs for games and fellowship. |
The next morning Wayne took me to the airport and then he drove on to Giddings TX at Camp Tejas Lights of Christmas event for the month of December. I joined him 2 weeks later.
