Sunday was spent in the church parking lot in Columbia. We enjoyed the morning Sunday School and service, but were disappointed to learn that they don't have an evening service.
So, we watched the Zoom Good News Club taught by CYIA youth. There were children riding their bikes in the church parking lot and along the street. We told them briefly about Jesus, encouraged them to visit the church for themselves (most of them don't go to church), and gave them "Jesus loves you" cards. Be great to meet them in Heaven! It was hard to be there with Mary and Scot gone - felt like a loss of sorts.
Since we had lots of down time on saturday and Sunday...meaning the RV was not moving, we did two jigsaw puzzles.
Monday we drove to CEF and got all hooked up. That evening our R.V. neighbors, Tim and Mari Dekle, hosted a wiener roast and invited us. We brought pickles and marshmallows to add! About 10 CMI students joined us and we had a great time getting acquainted and visiting.
Tuesday and Wednesday Heather worked with housekeeping. They had had a full house, and it took 2 days to get all the bedding and towels washed and folded. But by 8 p.m. Tuesday we were done. Roger went through the entire volunteer lodge, checking the plumbing and cleaning out drains that needed attention. Then he weeded the front gardens in preparation for the International Board's arrival.
Thursday we worked together in production. That involved loading the binding/cutting machine, making boxes, and packing the books that came off production. This was the day's work!
The next day Heather finished that production. Then she worked binding books and besides some other work, made up over 400 boxes in preparation for the next print run. Roger worked in the warehouse. They were preparing a shipment for overseas.
It's been a busy 4 days, and now we are packing up, heading to CO. The sun is shining, but it's not blistering hot anymore!
