It is so good to see family get togethers

Last Friday afternoon, Kevin and I invited his sister Vanessa and her boy friend Anthony and their child. To come over to the Camp and enjoy some good cooking (Kevin did it) and just play around a little. Vanessa is Kevin's older sister, not sure how much more? He has one more a little older, Pebbles. She has two children. She has been living in Free Port with her dad. But I know that this day was one that Kevin will not forget. He talks about his family much. The sad part is, his younger sisters still live at home with their mom. We have called, Kevin's mom (Kim) many times to ask if we can come over and take the girls out to the beach or what ever. Kim tells Kevin, no they have work to do around the farm that they live at. I will try this week to call and see, maybe she will say yes this time. I know Kevin misses his sister very much. They are a little younger than him. But they still are his sisters and we will see what happens this week-end? Would love to get them all together plus their mom. Maybe one of these days that could happen.
By looking at the food, you surly can see it was not my fixes? Kevin cooked up 5 chicken halves and stuffing and mash potatos, plus some mixed veggies. Kevin loves to cook and this just gives him a chance to show how our Lord has blessed him and shown favor too. I am very blessed to have a son like him and proud too.
This last Friday was our day off, reason it is called Discovery Day. Columbus Day in the states. They really don't like Columbus Day, so they make up their own holiday.
Oh the rest of this week, Kevin has off from school. Today Wednesday is a Fun Day, so he wants to stay around and help us at the Centre. Then Thursday and Friday is Med Terms. Med Terms to me meet, testing? Which means two more days off. I just don't get it. The school system here is more for days off than on. Now maybe we can figure out why our school grade (avg) is only a D. Kevin has been doing well there but I still have not meet his teachers. We had a PTA meeting last month and it went so long that we could not stay after to talk with them. I hope maybe this next week to stop in and ask to talk with them. Kevin is showing me some great grades, but he never has home work? Please keep him in prayers, I really want him to do well. One reason is I didn't do well in school and wish I could go back and do my best. Not just be able to pass.

You can see how the animals are watching them work.


Yes the Calvary has arived.

Yesterday morning a group of 9 folks cam in form Fort Lauderdale,Fl. They have come to give us a helping hand or two. After lunch we started to working on different projects. The guys took off the old roof and replace plywood on the Pig Pen. Remember the tree that fell on it and broke up the roof? The girls were pressure washing the stalls. Around 7pm we finished up and got back the Camp and had a nice dinner pizza and a good salad.
Today our plan is, finish up the roof and the girls to paint all of the stalls. We here at ALC are blessed to see helpers and willingness to do what ever is needed. I hope to get the roof and ad least on stall painted. Then this afternoon they are going over to Hatiation camp and just give out some hot dogs and chips. I hope to take some pictures then and share them with you later on. My prayer for every group that comes here, that they are blessed and know that they were used by God to do His work.

We have some help

Reading a great book

It is called A Dad Size Challenge, by Jeff Kinley. I got this book for two reason, one to help me be a good dad plus I love how he uses his own life to show what to do and what not to do? I am about half through it. I read this last night and I thought you all would like to hear what he has to say about: How to schedule for your kids. You know work sometimes over powers your schedule, he has his wife to help him see. This part is about how he use to work at a church. It just became to much time away. I have decide that career simply wasn't worth it. You'll have to weigh the pros and cons and make decision. Be careful. You may conclude that your job isn't worth what you're missing at home. You may find that you're been padding one bank account while bankrupting another.

This last week no big news to report

Kevin and I just did our ting this week. School and work.
On Thursday we had a couple of guys come in to stay at the Camp. Mike and David. They are part of Calvary Chapel Academy. The reason why they came down was to start getting tings in order for their trip in Jan 2012. That is when we will have around 160 students and teachers here for a week. Mike, David and I went to a couple of places to talk with the over seers. The meets went well and now they have some what a plan.
During their time here half will stay her at the Camp for a couple of days and visit different places. Like the boy's home and girl's too. These homes are for the children that have trouble with authority. It could be with a family member or even the police. The real sad part is back a while we use to go into the boy's home an see pretty much older ones, 15 and up. The last time I was there I saw, much younger ones. Like 8 and up.
So the children will be doing some skits and just letting them know that Jesus Christ is with him and how much He loves them all.
Plus they will working at different places too.
Now the other group will be staying on another island, Eleuthera. There they will be doing VBS at different schools and parks. Then on Thursday they will flip spots. The group that was here will go there and the other group will come here and do other tings.
It seam like we have a some what plan and it really depend on what He really wants to get done?
Mike and David left on Friday afternoon.
