Boy it sure good seeing family.

Yesterday, my cousins came to town and we just enjoy it all. They came on a ship, you see one of the pictures below. I should have taken it earlier in the day. You really can not see that good. It is one of the larger ships that come each week. They pull in at 12pm and leave that night around 12am. From there they go to one of the smaller island. Which I guess they have some set up there for their guest to take in. From there they leave to go back to Florida (today)
They brought a couple with them too. By looking at the pictures below you can see a group shot. Jon, Debbie,Kevin,Cheryl and Roger. Debbie is my cousin and Jon is her hubby. The other two are good friends and they meet at a show that they all deal with. The way they make their money is buying tings there and selling them on Ebay. I know Debbie and Jon have been doing this for about 4 years. Jon was telling me how they look around at the store and make purchases some things and go back home to their computer and take a picture and put it on Ebay. Jon was telling me that some times they buy something that will sell and others stuff will not.
While here we went to the Straw market. They looked around and bought a couple of tings. From there I took them East. I had a chance to show off this place a little. Then got to ALC and they fell in love with this place. I showed them around and during their time there, we had a birthday party going on. So they had a chance to see what the kids do while here and just get a feel of what and why we do what we do. Let this nation hear about Jesus Christ and why and how the animals are so much needed on this earth. From there I brought them over too the Camp. We had a group in there too. It was a church retreat.
We left there and started down to the fish fry, (Awawak Cay) Had a nice dinner and we started out to go to Atlantis. Like I said we started out to go there. But Bay Street is being torn up and the traffic was moving very slow. So we all talked about maybe not this time. Dropped them off and said a good byes and they went to the ship and Kevin and came straight home. I really did enjoy having them here and how fast the time went by. I have missed seeing my cousin and just doing a quit trip like that just made my day. Debbie and I were very close when we were kids. It really was neat the time grouping up and have family like her around.
My prayer is that more family would come over and spend some time to vist here. I love showing this place off plus.

Yesterday was a great day my cousins came to town

Yes we had a nice Thanksgiving Diner

Well the old water pump started leaking 201984 mile

I have been so blessed by friends

Now back when this place first started in 1993(?) I have seen pictures of ALC back then. Henry was very much part of how this came about. He gave us the John Deere (you see in the back ground) I had a chance spend time where Henry lives,Charlotte, MC. That was all most two years ago. While there I would go on walks with him and he told me all kinds of things about ALC. It really was a neat time and very relaxing too. I am thinking about going back there next year for a vacation. (maybe)
Henry is in town for a week. He is staying at Billy's house while here. Billy has known him for over 20 years. They are from the same church back in Wisconsin. Henry and his wife Marie retired a while back and now live in this place called Carmel Hills Retirement. This place is a wonderful and very nice home. Like I said before, I stayed there a while back. If you want to see pictures and stories about my time there. Go back to year 2010 January. There is a lot of things I did while there.

A old friend dropped by yesterday

A wonderful evening with my singles family

I had the chance to drive some youths around last night

Calvary Bible scavenger hunt

I really hope and pray he was on his way to getting it repaired

Just a couple of nice shot

Kevin is the one that did most of the painting

This is our staff for this part of our season.

It is sure nice when the inter net works

I have been trying to get on to add pictures since Monday. So I tired again today. Yes it seem to be working good today. There was a guy out here a couple of days ago. He was asked to come and check out our inter net and other problems. His name is Barry. Really nice guy. He went first to the Centre, found out the wireless was not plugged all the way. Then he came over here, Camp. He did a couple of tests. He thinks it is not the inter net, but my computer. He told me to buy some more memory for it and it should fix the problem. I have not bought it, but like I said it works good today.
If you look below and see how the fences and gates are pretty much rotten out. So a couple of Tuesdays ago, Tim came in and we made up one side the goat gate. The next day I built the other side. On Friday Harri came in and we hung it and it worked out great. All the boards are even. Plus it is hung well too. I really am happy to see how this all came together. Tim was the one that started it and showed me how to do it right. By God's grace I think it looks good.
Now the front gate. Someone hit the gate when it was not open all the way. So it bent and broke the arm on it. I took it apart and put in a eye bolt to replace the roller bearing. It worked okay for the day. I looked at the part that was broke. I told myself, I have nothing to loose by trying the weld it myself. By His grace it did good and I replaced the eye bolt with the old part. Just need to try it and see what He can do with things that are damaged and how He is the One that really does make it happen.
Now the log between the tyres on the bus? One of the staff must have back up and the 8X8 was right in the middle of the tyres and it got stuck. Eric and I talked about it and I was thinking of pulling the tyre off. Eric was thinking using a chain saw. Great idea and it worked.
Over all this week has been some blessings and some trouble too. Like yesterday. There was a Hyd line leaking. I worked on that on and off for like three days. Trying to get the line off. Mark came out and he looked at it and said let us try this? Which we did and got the old line off. I took it down to Knowels Welding and he used brass the a torch and it seems to be holding well. I put it all back together. Then tried to work on finding out why now it only runs for a minute or two. While loosing up the injector nuts. I now broke the return line on the top of the engine. Boy if this is not a problem? I broke one of these a couple of years ago. There is no John Deere part store here. Need to get the part from Ft. Laud. I just look on and say why Lord?

Not sure how this happen

Just think these fences and gate are all over 18 years old

This the front gate, rotten wood.

Answered prayer

Yesterday I was dropping off Kevin at school. On the way there or even when we pull up to the school we pray each morning. Protect us and help us trust Him today. Plus there is more. But this morning I was running a little late. See when I drop him off, I need to turn around and go back the way I came. So I was backing up and heard a horn blow, not knowing it was for me? The reason I say this is, every one here uses the horn to push people along or thank you, beep. I didn't look behind me backing up. The reason is I just pulled in and know their would be no one back there. So I just keeping backing up and boom. My truck stopped and I looked in my mirror and see this car behind me? What happen? I get out of my truck and ask what happen. She was very clam and asked me to pull forward a little and see what damage there is. I pulled forward and saw her bumper pushed in some. I gave her my card and told her if she needed any help in repairing it just give me a call and I will fix it.
So last night laying around watching TV I got a call and it was her. She tells me the dent is gone and not to worry about it any more. She came out of her office and it was gone. I was like Hu. So I wrote to her this morning telling her I am so happy to hear that and let her know how good my Lord is, in answering prayers.

This I received from a old friend. Thanks Carol

Hope all is well. When you have a moment to yourself, read this, It was
difficult for me to decide who I thought would DO this because many people
claim to pray, but not everyone does. I hope I chose the right twelve.
please send this back to me. May everyone who receives this message be
blessed. There are 12 months/ 12 disciples / 12 tribes of Israel / Jesus '
birth celebrated in the 12Th month. There is nothing attached. Just send
this to twelve others. Prayer is one of the best free gifts we receive.
There is no cost, just a lot of reward. Make sure you pray, and pray
believing God will answer. May today be all you need it to be. May the peace
of God and the freshness of the Holy Spirit rest in your thoughts, rule in
your dreams tonight , and conquer all your fears. May God manifest himself
today in ways you have never experienced before. May your joys be fulfilled,
your dreams be closer, and your prayers be answered. I pray that faith
enters a new height for you; I pray that your territory is enlarged. I pray
or peace, healing, health, happiness, prosperity, joy, true and undying
love for God .

What the Bahamain people do on Halloween Night

Instead of going out Trick Or Treat? They pretty much go over to a friend's home or go some place to light off Fire Works. You can buy them pretty much any where, like small Mom and Pop food stores here. It really is kind of funny how so many people do this. Now in nice areas, (Blair) the kids go out and Trick Or Treat there. I thought about taking Kevin out there but realize he is 16 years of age and they might not give him any thing? So we stayed home and he had a sparkler that Josh gave him awhile back. So that is what happens here during Halloween night. There were so many fire works going off it really sounded like a battle field. It went on until around 11 pm.
I heard back up north in the states they didn't have Halloween this year, because of the snow and how bad it was outside. I remember myself back in my youth. It sure seems like it rain every Halloween night. I do remember one year how cold it was out too. I use to really like that night when I got older, it was a night to party and make a fool of yourself too.
Now during my older days. I am so happy to say I don't do that many foolish tings any more. I still make mistakes, but I am forgiven by His blood.

Halloween night

This happen about three week-ends ago
