Good Afternoon, well I guess it's actually 4:30am for you but we have just finished our amazing lunch and are back to work at Camp of the Good Shepherd. It's been a good day of work on the cabins this morning and our hope is to finish all of them before the day is over. We began the day with a hearty breakfast, a short team devotional at a little gazebo right next the beautiful stream that runs through camp, then it was off to work. So far, we've sanded cabin doors, removed mattresses, swept, varnished the doors, checked for bed bugs, sanitized mattresses, and the team is now cleaning one last time before we begin painting inside each cabin. Tonight will be a well earned and heavy sleep for everyone! Debbie has arranged for a special guest speaker to join us for dinner. I belive it is a gentleman who will speak of his experience in the Romanian Revolution so it will be quite interesting. Debbie and Julian have done an amazing job of coordinating special guest speakers each day to interact with our team. Can't wait to hear their stories and share them with you all here.
Already, I've been impressed with this team's positive attitude, great work ethic and overall approach to this experience. It's been a blessing to watch them fully immerse themselves in this experience. Even with the lost luggage issue, the attitudes are fantastic and everyone is adapting, sharing and enjoying it all. The girls ended up squeezing into one room last night and laughing for hours before it was time for bed, a spontaneous girl time. I loved it! As a whole, the team is working extremely well together and it's made it really easy on the chaperones. Thank you for having fantastic kids!
Speaking of fantastic kids, I better go pull my weight and get back out there to help finish the cabins. I'll post again at about the same time tomorrow. Oh, one last bit of good news, Julian and Scott are on their way to the airport now to pick up everyone's delayed luggage. You should have seen us all jump out of our seats when Julian mentioned delayed luggage - I think the excitement was better than Christmas morning, age 5.
Thank you all for your continued prayers and support. The team remains healthy and joyful.

Can you post any photos? Has it been warm or cold or wet? Have they had a chance to interact with the kids yet? Mexicali had a huge earthquake which rocked southern Cal but we are all good. Weather here finally turning warmer...rained last night and early morning. We miss you!!! Thank you for this fantastic experience for our kids and Hearts of Hope. Stay safe and God Bless!
