Friday and free of rain

Friday dawned rain free after another night of more rain.100_0393

After choir practice, we went to CG and had lunch at McMashers.  Joel and Linda had told us that they make really good burgers and they were right.

I met Heather today.  She and husband just purchased this site and Slim is helping them trim the dead palm limbs from their palm tree.  They are thrilled to get a site that backs up to the cactus garden.Heather and Frank bought this lot and Slim is helping them trim the palm tree

Great job, y'all!  It looks really good now.100_0410

Judy prepared some snacks and she and John walked down to spend a little time with us before they leave in the morning, headed to Tucson to work on their next Nomads project for three weeks, then to Phoenix for another three project, and then Gore, Oklahoma to another three week project.  They stay very busy doing Nomads projects.  NOMADS stands for Nomads On Mission Active in Divine Service.  The NOMADS program offers persons with recreational vehicles the opportunity to share their time and skills in United Methodist projects, including churches, camps, mission agencies, disaster areas and local neighborhoods.

Received an email from Chaplain Bob Ruesch, CRM Field Operations Director:

In a recent survey taken on www.rvtravel.com the following question below was posted.  I am thinking we have work to do, but the opportunity to bring those to join Christ at work, is wonderful, we need to work on the “Not every week and the Seldom and especially the NEVER.”

Keep up the great work!
