this is Sandy good – I have been blessed to get to know your students on this trip – Diane and I are enjoying the interaction – today ( monday ) was a nice HOT day – plenty of sunshine for keep us HOT and sweating all day – we helped move LOTS of stuff from a large building that is underconstruction -loading stuff onto two trucks and then riding on the trucks to another part of the camp where they were unloading into big storage containers. They need to get all the stuff out of the gym because they have ordered a floor which is arriving in a couple weeks and the floor needs to be ready for that to be installed.
Some of us men, got to haul a few truck loads of stuff to the local dump, which was quite the cultural experience. we even got to go to a number of little gas stations looking for diesel fuel for the truck before we found one that had fuel available . we dont usually experience that in USA.
after lunch, it was more hauling and storing – some of the girls painted the platform at the Zip Lline and it does look alot better with the bright colors. It seems that they also painted themselves – but – what do I know?
we then all went into town in the bus and played basketball, soccer, volleyball and other games with Bahamian children that were gathered and came once they saw people playing games – again – it was a HOT time.
I must tell you – the students are doing great – on our flights down here, we had a very LONG day – and, once we got to Nassau, we had many delays until we got on our flight to our camp Island – I did not hear one complaint ( you need to know that is rare – after 62 trips , I have had very very few trips without complaints about a day like that ) God has been very gracious in protecting us and getting us on every flght and all our bags arrived.
Thank you for “taking a risk” and providing an experience like this for your seniors – lives are being changed. We have all experienced much. Please keep praying for strength and energy. The sun and heat has a way of draining. we are all drinking lots of water, and getting good rest each night and plenty of good food – God is taking such good care of us. Thank You.
