We had a group of volunteers from Pennsylvania here at SLMI this week and they pitched in on a few projects and helped us "regulars" complete the tasks. The Spring edition of The Reaper, our quarterly booklet to 30,000 donors and interested supporters was collated and addressed, a slab for a lumber storage shed was poured and will be ready for the metal building to be completed and a few other projects were accomplished. Brian, Ken and I worked on the screeding, bull floating and power troweling on the slab until 3 am this morning, bringing back stucco flashbacks for me.
This morning, I slept beyond prayer time, found very little to help with when I went to the shop and main building, so completed our tax filings and just sat down to enjoy the cool day and bright sunshine, and anticipate the plans for our departure and travel to Arkansas. We may divert to The Ark Encounter in Kentucky, depending on weather. We don't want to visit The Ark if it will be raining(?), certainly not if it's snowing, so our plans are weather-dependent at this point.
We've enjoyed our third visit to Madison, were blessed with a mild winter and an early Spring, and were able to assist the mission of the Mission. Karen is recovered from her bout with bronchitis, I have avoided the sickness which has plagued so many of our people, and my hair and beard are almost at Passion Play length. It has been a good stay, but it does appear that we are now "short-timers", destined for some travel time in the motor home and our fourth summer in Arkansas.
God is Good and we thank Him for blessing us as He does with the call to serve Him and His Kingdom. All glory to Him.
