Quick Update ~ ~ ~

We have 2 work crews here right now. One from New York and one from Michigan. We have been impressed with both crews! They have such servants' hearts and are so generous! Tuesday, the MI crew took us out to see "Prince Caspian," the movie. And the New York crew helped pay for a tank for Mike's iguanas. We have had a lot of fun with them. These crews have been working really hard and getting a lot done!

We are getting settled into our new apartment. It is feeling more like a home to us than our old apartment did because we can actually unpack. For the first time in over 4 months we actually have a livingroom, a kitchen with cupboards, and a real laundry room (verses a washer sitting on bricks outside the back door). Plus, we have a "green room" which is a room that is open to the sky (no ceiling or screen or anything). Mike built me a ladder so that I can climb up on the roof. It is really nice! This new apartment has been a blessing to us!

Also, Mike has now acquired 2 baby iguanas that were found on camp property. (We normally don't find iguanas at camp but there must be a nest.) So now we need to learn all about iguanas because, of course, Mike is keeping them as pets!

And lastly, about 2 weeks ago, the camp was broken into and robbed. The robbers managed to get into 3 supply rooms. They also tried to get into the kitchen but were unable. They stole some supplies, copper wiring, and more. As upsetting as that was, we praise God because it could have been worse! (The picture below shows the boarded-up windows on one of the rooms that was broken into.)
