NOMAD PROJECT PERIOD 2-CAMP THICKET

Hola:

NOTICE ! NOTICE! NOTICE!
There will NOT be any pictures for awhile as John has misplaced the camera.

Judy and John spent the whole day over on South Padre Island last Friday. The air temperature was 82 and the water temperature, in the Gulf, was 72.. We walked along the beech and gathered some small sea shells. We stopped in some of the business to purchase a few souvenirs , also toured the KOA RV park, along with the county RV park, for future potential camping spots. We also saw folks Kite-Boarding and others Wind-Board Surfing, very amazing and beautiful to WATCH.

We have finished the project here at Camp Thicket for period 2 , but we will be staying here for project period 3,(save some traveling expense and tear down and set up time, which allows us more time to take in the events around the area :) )

We mostly painted the rest of the buildings on the outside this week.

On Monday night the LONGS joined the MITCHELLS for a game of SKIP BO girls against the guys 2 games were enjoyed and had tied results.

On Tuesday night we all went over to UMC Mercedes to Listen to the BLACKWOOD LEGACY trio...which sang in the old Blackwood Quartet style... one of the gentleman had sang with them. They have a 22 y.o man that is exceptionally talented on the piano and guitar. The evening was enjoyed by all.

On Wednesday night the ANNIS (from Iowa) and the LONGS went to the PINE TO PALM RV RESORT to hear the LINK FAMILY of Lebanon, Mo. They also play at Silver Dollar City, Mo. in their season. WE ALL HIGHLY RECOMMEND that everyone should catch their performance sometime.

Tonight Judy and John met with Dennis and Sally Mahoney CRM founder along with Jack and Karen Gregory, to discuss what roll (s) The Longs will be doing through/with CRM. It was discussed that John would assist Jack at Adventureland during the summer with Bible Studies and any other needed assistance Then in October the Longs will be returning to Coffeyville, Kan.(if that is the LORDS Will) to lead the CRM work there for the folks with AMAZON/EXPRESS EMPLOYMENT. At that time other opportunities will be discussed. PLEASE join us in praying about these decisions.

Judy returns to Dr.Glaizer, here in the Valley, for a follow up exam and lab reports. She has had a pretty good week at working and being able to enjoy all of the extra evening events.

We will be joining old NOMAD friends Jim and Jan Gee, on Friday afternoon for the Rio Grande Valley Music Festival, which has 5 stages of entertainment going on from 9a.m. til 10p.m. started on Thurs thru Sundays free 3 hour Gospel Sing/Performance.... wish we could find our camera to take some pictures.

Please continue praying for All of the NOMADS that leaving a project or traveling to a project this week-end.

Remember the CRM Chaplains as they prepare for their respected services and prepare the hearts of their worshipers so that GODS Message will be heard.

Continue to pray or our Country and the Leadership also the Service Personnel that protect our rights.

May GOD touch each of you in a Special way this week!!!

Blessings and HUGS

The Longs- Judy and John ( enjoying this nice South Texas weather)
