Lake George Day 1

8/14/14

The trip had finally arrived.  We were heading up to Lake George.  I got to church pretty early to get as much as I could set up before the kids started to arrive.  As everyone started coming you could feel the excitement.  We got everyone there and packed up the cars.  We said a sending prayer and assigned cars.  We met with Michael before we left and were on our way.  The trip up was not bad at all.  It is actually the same trip up to Amy's house.  We even stopped in Clearwater and had some donuts there.  We went past Little Falls by quite a bit and made it up to Lake George around noon.  We meet up with Don and Deb and got out to work right away.  They had a good first work day.  That afternoon we had one team splitting logs for Don.  They were able to make quite a dent in the pile he already had there.  Our painting crew started prepping the church for painting the next day.  They scraped all the surfaces.  Then our last team headed over and did some window washing for Viola.

We all came back for supper at the church.  Deb had made goulash and it was delicious.  There was so much left that we had decided that would be our lunch tomorrow.  After supper we went into the sanctuary and had our first worship time of the weekend.  It went very well and even though there were a few bugs we learned what we needed to fix for our next times.  After worship we headed out to Camp Courage and found our cabins.  They were amazing!  They were very nice cabins and it would be a lot of fun to be there for the next couple days.  The youth went swimming that night and then headed in for the night to get some sleep for our full day of work.  

Today I learned that you can have the best laid plans but something usually inimitably changes.  In that time it is better to go with the flow and let things work out and keep moving forward.
