We've Arrived!

In the center of the Florida "panhandle", nestled among a multitude of towering trees, sits Bethlehem Bible Camp. This is the location of our first MMAP project. Although we are a week late, due to mechanical problems in our motor home, our reception "committee" is warm and welcoming. Already we sense the spirit of God in this place and in the lives of our fellow MMAPers. There are three other couples and a single man working on this project, which currently is remodeling the inside of one of the living quarters on the property.

Each day starts with devotions at 7:30 a.m., 10:00 break, lunch at noon, another afternoon break at 2:30, and quiting time is 4:00 p.m. Hunter joins a group of men ranging in age from 62, (he's the youngest) to 86! One of the couples is close to our age and this is also their first project and they have been full time RVers for one year. I spent an enjoyable half-hour visiting with Chris, the above mentioned wife. We have a lot in common with this couple. I can already see a night or two of cake and cards! Here are a few photos I took this morning. By the way it is a gorgeous 78 degrees with a mild breeze causing light "showers" of fall leaves. Life is good!

Here is my haven-a "make shift" internet "hot spot". I can see I will be here everyday. Being outside, enjoying nature while e-mailing, blogging, or just surfing the net is such fun. What can be better than that-right Rebecca(my blogging daughter)??

We are so happy to hear that you are having a good time in FL and enjoying your first MMAP project. I am sure you will have many more stories to tell after your first week there!
