We have a large "wish list" of projects they would like to see accomplished. Today (Monday) we divided into 2 groups one demolished the existing pool shed, and put in the forms for the new base for the new pool shed. John was on this team in the A.M. Judy was on the 2nd team which worked in Fireside Lodge : washing the paneled walls and wiping down then painting drywall and concrete block walls. John joined the painting crew in the P.M. So that he could be where?? Up on a ladder smearing paint on the walls with a roller of course. Judy cleaned walls and caulked holes that needed minor repairs.

Judys health continues to be on the positive side, she made it through the day with out much pain or complaints. THANK YOU LORD!!

Judy celebrated her 63rd Birthday today while her Sister DIANN also had a major birthday, congratulations ladies and may both of you have many more.

We did have a minor/ major problem arise today; the waste water holding tanks aboard the ENDEAVOR, are suppose to last 5 to 7 days, well just after 3 days, since last emptying, we had a need to move the RV, so that we could get the holding tanks emptied again.

We ask that you continue to remember Judy in your prayers along with the following prayer and praises : Bobby Williamson who had major heart surgery in St. Louis and is continuing to recuperate in Missouri, also remember Dr. Larry Jackson recuperating from prostrate surgery also in Missouri, We heard today that he had a resent test result very favorable!! Thank You JESUS. While we were working at Adventureland there was a Lady who needed a Kidney transplant, the LORD provided one through a fellow Adventureland Workamper who just happened to be a perfect match. Both were doing extremely well on Friday when we left, THANK YOU GOD, they need to continue recuperating in the Des Moines area over the winter. We also ask for prayers for our friends John and Ruth Christison, as they set up their NEW home in West Burlington, we wish them well. Also please pray for the Hinschberger family in the resent loss of the 3 month old little fellow. Be with that family DEAR LORD.

The Traveling Cats are appreciating the rural life again instead of that busy days and nights in that city campground at Altoona.

We are going to try real hard to do a daily update while we are here at HCRC for the next 3 weeks.

May GOD BLESSINGS and HUGS from the LONGS-on the road, go out to each of you.

Good to hear from you! Happy Birthday! I'm thankful for this week to wind down. I've never cried so many tears, in one week. We had three deaths this week. Kevin & Crystal's dad passed away Monday, and Blake Jacobi died in a car accident. He belongs to Cindy and Jim Jacobi. Little Jacoby, Sarah & Josh's baby on Angel's wings. I guess it is o.k. to cry, as Jesus wept with compassion, also. My heart felt pain goes out to these families. I am so thankful that Jesus conquered death! We can hold on to the promises! Sounds like you are really busy at work! May God bless you for your servanthood.

Hugs,
Terri Jo
