Busy, Busy week ahead....

The big event here has begun. Tonight a group of 33 people from Kansas arrived to work here this week. Lowell Miller's and Marvin Mast's are the families that came along with the youth. They plan to paint the interior of the home. We are really looking forward to the much needed face lift in here! There are also various outside projects on the agenda. We're excited about working with them and having the fellowship this week! They are needing to camp out in the school house. We have it nearly finished and just put sleeping bags and foam mats out for sleeping quarters.
Tonight I am SO very proud of my daughter! She was responsible for planning, preparing, and serving the supper for tonight and she did such a wonderful job! We had 92 people here for supper!! She, of course, had helpers to prepare the food, but was the coordinator. I was gone all afternoon getting groceries... she had Tania here... she did laundry and ironing, plus fed 92 people and was still of sound mind when she was finished! She's a jewel I say!!
Today was the day when the Mexican trial of waiting seemed to be in effect more than some days. We wanted to quickly run in and get some last minute supplies and be back again before very late so we could finish up things here to get ready. It was not to be! Thankfully, Nevin was also at home going on with tying up some loose ends here and there so it all worked out.
I best catch a few winks and be ready to keep up with the troops tomorrow!
