NBBI and Goodbye

Last night Kevin and I left late for NBBI. We arrived near midnight and found an empty room in the guys dorm to crash in. We chatted with a few fellas who were still up and had a good nights sleep.

This morning we were up and at the chapel for about 8:30. We enjoyed visiting with some old classmates and faculty and reminiscing about our time at NBBI. It seems so long ago. Kevin and I shared in chapel about Arrowhead and showed the camp promo. We allowed a few minutes after chapel to visit with the students and were more than pleased to hand out several staff applications. It looks like we'll have an excellent showing of Bible school students this year - which will be a huge blessing.

Immediately after chapel we hit the road again to get back here to the work team. With some more assistance from Roger Hill the new well is finally up and running. The new pressure tank is installed and the switches are all active, this will allow us to use the old well as a back up in the event we have any trouble with the larger well.

The work team will be leaving early in the morning, and let me tell you, they've blown our minds at just how much they have accomplished this week! There are now stairs up to the new office building, the stairs in the shop are complete, the drop ceiling in the medical station, a window in the medical station door, the new sinks and plumbing repairs, all of the electrical work for the well and new office. It has been a wonderful encouragement to have these guys with us, and we've really enjoyed working alongside them and getting to know them.

It has been an exceptionally busy few weeks, and it has been challenging for all of us. It will be nice to have a day to recuperate and then we'll be off to the races again. There's a great deal to accomplish before we head out West for training. Year end is coming up in a couple of days so I have quite a bit to do with the QuickBooks to have them ready for headquarters. Liz and I will be sharing at a couple of more churches before we go, Kevin and I have a week of meetings coming up and we will be getting the camp printed materials in the mail in the next week or two. Before we know it we're going to be out West wondering how we got there.
