March Project at ABC is complete!

We have completed the March project at Acadian Baptist Center and will soon be heading for Purdy and Camp Barnabas.  Our time here has been a great two months and we thank the people at ABC for their spirit and service.  While we have been here there have been multiple groups every weekend and the staff has worked very hard to make them feel welcome and safe.

The main focus of our last week was to trim all of the trees on the boulevard, the street in front of the staff houses.  We used a saw which was capable of extending our reach, especially when it was in Larry's hands.

I didn't have near the reach but I could reach a lot of the branches and pick up the brush.

 

When we were finished we cleared away all of the brush and cut the burnable branches into fire log pieces and piled them behind the shop.  The pile at the left is from an old pine stump which we also cut down and into pieces.

 

Some of the local wildlife was always around and curious.  This fellow wanted to inspect the jug of roundup we were using.  If brother Pat happens to see this, what is it?

There were still a few more toilet paper dispensers which needed to be changed---

---so my faithful companion (Billie) was the "toolman" for the job.  She really enjoys using tools.

After our last day we all had a nice meal at Rocco's Italian Restaurant in Crowley.  We had a great time going over the month's events and said our farewells.

On Sunday, after church, we visited the Chinese restaurant one more time and Billie just had to pose with a couple of mud bugs, the local delicacy.

All-in-all God is so good to us and we will see you soon in Purdy, MO. if He is willing.
