6 weeks, 3 teams...the marathon begins!

Today, Ken, Danielle and I are headed out to do the grocery shopping for the team from Palm Beach Atlantic that arrives tomorrow for a week-long, short-term construction team here at the camp. We were headed out the door, until David stopped by and told us that the rental group that is at the camp had broken off the shower handle in one of the cabin bathrooms, so Ken is trying to fix that now before we leave. This is pretty much how things go around here...hahaha! We've learned a lot about f-l-e-x-i-b-i-l-i-t-y since we've been here, that's for sure. This group will be working on extending a roof, the breezeway roof, between the camp kitchen and and the Celebration Center over a few feet, since whenever it rains it floods out the breezeway where we have picnic tables set up to feed the teams. They will also help us with some fencing projects. The campground is fenced in, but with the last robbery, we had a bit of damage done to the fence near the front gate, wires cut, fencing trampled, etc. This group is bringing back several people who came last year in May to do medical missions with us, so we are looking forward to seeing "friends" this week and spending time with them! Also, the boys are excited because "THE JOEY" is coming back! If he will let me, I will try and get a picture of Joey while he is here and post it to the blog. Not only does he resemble "THE LUKE COPELAND" in a lot of ways, his style of clothes, his facial features; but also his testimony. We wished that Brad could have stayed a couple more days to meet him! Anyways, Joey is the guy that last year when he left, Jordan went to a picnic table, put his head on his arms and bawled for about 15 minutes. It was heartbreaking! Well, Ken just came back in the door. So, off to PriceSmart to do some heavy duty grocery shopping for this team!
