Derek was able to join his Uncle Kevin and a father-and-son team from southern Germany (we know the latter family from the Tübingen ministry and camps) for two days of working at Camp Impact. Derek and Kevin left yesterday morning at 5 a.m. for the three hour drive to camp. It was about the same amount of driving for the other two coming from southern Germany.
Yesterday Kevin had two important meetings with officials and several of the men from impact which they felt went well. We continue to look to the Lord to work out all the necessary details.
At the camp Derek was asked to check for useable items (here he was in one of the garages).
He located the bunk beds in the largest house, furthest away, and it was a challenge to bring them over the snow and ice. He set them up in a room in the old administration building.
This is the building in which the former owners kept the many keys which the boys sorted out.
Notice the buckets of snow which they brought in and melted. (No running water or electricity)
The kitchen/eating area was set up in the front room.
The propane helped to heat the rooms and cook the food.
The main work project was to take care of fallen trees. The first trees they worked on were the ones that had fallen across the fence. Then they removed the ones on the building and lastly some too close to buildings.
Daniel, the father, brought the chain saws. His father owns a section of forest in southern Germany.
Ruben, 13, had his own saw and worked right along with him.
Derek used the ax to remove the smaller branches of the trees.
He also stacked the trunk sections and branches.
A last farewell before locking up the property. We do pray for its safety. Vandalism is common over here in vacant buildings.
