Leaving so soon?

Well our time is going fast. We will be heading back to the States next Sunday. Arriving in Chicago Monday afternoon. It seems like we are leaving too soon. There is still so much to be done, although we have almost finished all we came to do. We will wrap it up in the next couple of days. I will miss all that happens here at Sunbury and being a part of it. God has truly blessed us during our time here, from visiting with the campers to making new friendships and of course working. It is our prayer that we have blessed others as we have been blessed.

We so enjoyed the Pinter’s; Christine and Kevin and their children, Toby, Titus and Elsa. It was so much fun having children around the camp. Our mornings started with, as I call them, the monkeys in the tree. The boys spent most of their day there and Elsa joined them from time to time.

What a neat couple with a heart for the Lord. I look forward to seeing all God will do through them and their children.

A Huge Pile of Sheets

Yea!!! I’m a bit loopy, but all the sheets are done. Just so you know this is what 150 sheets and pillow cases look like. They were put in the dorms today.

I’m so grateful for all the help that Muzi was. I think, if my records are right, he made half of the sheets and pillow cases. One more project finished.

Muzi

Well it’s been an extremely busy couple of weeks. As I showed you last week, the men took down the chapel and I was busy making white fitted sheets. Fortunately for me, the camp for last weekend was canceled so the ladies pitched in and helped for a couple of days. We are making 131 sheets, a bigger job than I had anticipated I should have started sooner.  

As of today, we have 70 finished 👏🏻 good for us. But time is passing so quickly. I’m hoping to be done by the 15th. I’ll say it again, fortunately for me Ellen told me her son, Muzi, can sew anything.  You know how moms are we think our kids can do anything. In this case, she was right he does beautiful work.

Muzi was able to complete 11 sheets today. We worked together he did the stitching and I did the pressing and pining in the elastic. Unfortunately, he’s not sure he’ll be able to help again. I guess we’ll see.

Just a little about Muzi, 22 years old and graduated 4 years ago. He does some web design at night, from midnight to 7 am. That is amazing because he comes from a very poor area without internet in the home.  I know... unheard of. He buys data for his phone and those hours are the cheapest for him to get the best usage for the money.  His hope is to go to University to study design. He has already talked to the school and they told him to come when ever he was ready. He’s ready, but because the family is just making ends-meet he’s having to find work wherever he can get it to save for school.   He’s a real go getter. School is R 5,000 per year. That’s about $350 for us, at least thats with the current exchange. This particular study takes 3 years. I’d love to be able to help him. We’ll see.
