They flew in on Friday and will be here until Jan 3rd. I wil write about them more tomorrow. I need to get to the ALC NOW.

These pictures are from Joe. This was during their trip here in Dec 2012. thank you Joe.

A couple of items we worked on yesterday.

Mark and myself worked on the NEW Planetarium Show set up. This was looking pretty hard at first? But after playing around with different set ups. We got it and it is up and running now. Hey every one I just saw a little of one of the new shows. Boy it sure is pretty. Mark is going to work on the sound system today. When that is up, I think we will have a great show. If you have ever been here and saw our planetarium show before. Which was okay. But NOW WOW. it is all most 360degs. You can look all away around now and see like you would walking down the road around you. It really is neat.

The next picture is Tim working on a couple of the limbs of the New Tree Fort Puppet Stage. It really is looking more and more like a real tree.
We here at the Adventure Learning Centre have been so blessed this last couple of months. We have three main projects going on at once.
Repainting the World bus to make is the Solar Bus now.
Building the new puppet stage.
Then the New planetarium show.
Today we have 23 students coming in to stay at the Camp. So I look on and say HELP LORD. He is right along side of me and giving every thing I need to make all this happen. Thank you for your prayer and look forward in sharing the finish work in the next week or so.

Last night we just had a nice time

This was our Christmas party for the staff. We had steaks and some really good tasting food. Folks if I have not told you this before. I am very blessed to call these people my family here. It was a night of food and fellowship. The sad part was not every one came. I really not sure why? But about two weeks ago we told everyone that we would be having a get together party. But like I said, some staff thought it was to short a notice. They are the ones that missed out.

Our day during Boxing Day

Well first of all Kevin and I had a chance to help out at the Boxing Day Lunch at Calvary Bible Church. Then we went to go fishing. We tried at Jaws Beach, but the water was to shallow. So we drove down the road a little farther and went to Ciflton Pier. Went down the Pirates Stair Case. Boy I can tell you this. DO NOT WEAR FLIP FLOPS going down those stairs. It was tricky. There Kevin caught a fish, not sure what it was but he was flat and his eyes were on side of his body. I thought about the Simpson's show. You know how Homer work at the Nuclear Plant. Some funny looking fish comes out of the area.
Over all it was a fun day and just looking around this island I am very blessed to say I live here.

Had a wonderful Christmas, hope you did too.

Our day was a busy one. After Kevin feed the animals I took him and one of his sisters to vist their mom for a couple of hours. Then drove them over to his dad's place for a party there with the rest of the family. Kevin told me he had a good time.
The people above here is where I had my Christmas dinner at. This is Billy's home. He has been a good friend for many years since I have lived here in the Bahamas. He has open his home to help others.
The last picture is a place I sat at while waiting to pick Kevin up at his mom. What a beautiful site? I am very blessed to call this place my home and very much in love with here. I pray that you all had a wonderful Christmas and let us see what happens next year.
 Many some of you can come over on a cruse and spend a day. If you are planning on a trip. Please let me know maybe I can work something out to show you around a little.

This was our Christmas morning.

Yes we had Christmas at the Schafer home. If you look at the presents you can see that they are pretty much for both of us. Except the camera, that is Kevin's
You can see one of Kevin's sisiter stopped by last night for dinner.
The last one is Scooby enjoying the bone for last nights dinner.
MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL. I love you

Merry Christmas from a friend here in the Bahamas, thanks David.

HOPING YOU HAVE A BLESSED AND PEACEFUL

CHRISTMAS ! ! !

I wish you a day of ordinary miracles...

A fresh pot of coffee you didn't have to make yourself...

An unexpected phone call from an old friend...

Green stoplights on your way to work or shop...

I wish you a day of little things to rejoice in...

The fastest line at the grocery store...

A good sing along song on the radio...

Your keys right where you look...

I wish you a day of happiness and perfection -

little bite-size pieces of perfection that give you the wonderful feeling

the Lord is smiling on you -

holding you so gently because you are someone special and rare...

I wish You Peace, Happiness and Joy...

They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them,

a day to love them, but then an entire life to forget them...

Send this to the people you'll never forget -

It's a short message to let them know that you'll never forget them...

If you don't send it to anyone,

that means

probably forgotten your friends... Take the time!!! Wishing you the very best - AND . .
