Hi friends. So it's been a while. I've moved to a different service site. I'm now at Red Bird Mission still learning about this whole rebuilding/missions thing.
Let me say, that Red Bird is quite the mission complex. They have immediate relief, school, medical, economic development, church (well pretty close), and elderly attention. Pretty much you need it, they have it.
I will freely admit that I am exhausted after having been worked into the ground by a 78 year old Michigan farmer. He is adorable, adorned in navy blue coveralls with several plaid patches, thick glasses and a black trucker hat. Don't be fooled by his slow amble though; the man just keeps working. He's like a Michigan Enegizer bunny.
From ASP to the Bahamas to Redbird, I have effectively learned never underestimate the elderly crews. They can still kick your booty/ outwork you. And usually do it with a sweet smile on their face.
Blessing to you all from my toasty room, peeking out into sightly snow-covered the night!
P.S. My new coat rocks. I am now an avid Carhart fan (the brand of workclothes). I have a work jacket that is the bomb.com. It's Carhart canvas, sherpa-lined with a fabulous cut that covers my backside! Super warm and wonderful :)

I'm now following your new blog!! Yay!! Also: love your description of your coat :) I am going to look up pictures online right now so that I can properly imagine you in your new and amazing outerwear.
ReplyDeleteI found you!!! Yay!!! I just talked to my in laws last night and they said they were expecting a nasty little snow storm so I'm sure it's gotten to you by now! I'm thinking we (the kids & I) will be coming to London for Spring Break so I will "swing by" & see you! I'm so excited about this blog! I creep around on blogs but rarely post so just because I don't put in my 2 cents doesn't mean I'm not here...I'm just "lurking"! Love you tons!
