For two weeks in May we had a team of 14 from the Biola Conservatory of Music. Bob Feller, has been a friend of H2H for many years and brings a group every other spring. This year he had 11 students and 2 friends join him. Out of the group we had a very unusual occurrence--more men then women in the group!
During team time I do a lot of talking and driving. If you've ever been on a team with us, these two pictures probably look familiar!
One of the projects with all the willing hands on this team was to work on getting things ready for summer camp. And work we did! We built a outdoor canopy, moved and built furniture, painted, worked on decorations, made benches and tables and did some cleaning, among other things! I was impressed by the willingness to jump in and the dedication to work long hours. We got more done then I anticipated!
I took a fall off off a scafolding table during the work. I banged up my right side pretty good. I'm still feeling the effects in my right arm. Pray for healing for me, that this won't hamper what needs to get done for the summer!
The group was also able to do several concerts and music teaching with the kids and community. The quality of music was great and I know that everyone enjoyed it. The kids that have been learning instruments with Heather were also greatly encouraged by fellow musicians.
While down at the Boys Transition House, preparing for camp, I was able to feed my roots....You can take a girl from the farm, but you can't take the farm from the girl! The BTH is in the country, surrounded by fields and farmers. A few fellow adventurers, from the team, take a morning walk with me each day. We walked the hills and the fields. One day, we explored an old vineyard. It was one of the best in Romania, until the communist party took it over and destroyed it. It is now ruins. We enjoyed exploring them. We enjoyed it so much we went back another day, with their instruments so they could play in the old hall.
Thanks Biola for another great time of ministry, growing and learning together!
