Hello my friends.

It has been a while since I have written in this Blog. I have been receiving all kinds of neat things that I think you might all enjoy. That is why you have been seeing things that have been forward to me and I love to pass them on.
Okay the picture that is right above this log in. Is a sun rise on the day the Patmos team was sent to Eleuthera. This island is about 60 miles from here, Nassau. All of Patmos took this ferry; it is called the Eleuthera Express. It is our mail boat; it goes to each of the islands to give out the mail, from New Providence. (Nassau) This morning was a rough one for them. The reason they were woken at 4am and told to pack for a week. During the time of packing the leaders turned off the power in both cabins. So they were packing by feel. Then I was one of the drivers of the buses. So I need to be ready at 5am with the bus. The bus I drove had all of the supplies on it. They still didn’t know where they were going to. We drove to Potter’s Cay. It is an area where all of the fishing boats and other ferries come in and go.
They left there at 6:30am. It took them almost 5 hours to get to Eleuthera. Remember they call this ferry the EXPRESS. Is that funny or what?
They got there and what their main ministry was clean and clearing a part of land that Bahamas Camp has received for their, Camp Grounds. It was not a vacation; all worked their back ends off. They were there for 10 days and some of them got into the Poison Wood. It is like Poison Ivy. It takes 3 days to show up. So one day you start to etch and then you are in trouble. It doesn’t spread, but is sure is very etching. One of the girls’ Kim had it all over her body. Pastor Chet had her stay in the room where there was air conditioning. Even Pastor Chet came home with it all over him.
The next blog I will have some pictures of their trip.
