Today we started our first project - finish 40 shelves to be mounted in the new bunk house. The Winfield team did a great job of designing and building the shelves but ran short of time due to problems with getting the right materials locally,(and they had other projects too)so they asked if we could finish them and mount them. Rudy did the sanding while Pam and I did the first coat of gloss/sealer. Tomorrow we'll do the smoothing with steel wool, then a second coat of gloss. Due to the high humidity we'll probably do a third coat on Wednesday then mount them in the bunk house on Thursday.
We're sad to see our new Winfield friends leave tomorrow; they are really a nice bunch of folks. Looks like we will now have the entire old bunk house to ourselves!
More delicious food today - I'm hoping we don't come back with "extra personal baggage".
Oh yeah, weather was beautiful today - no rain - all sunny but with a nice temp and enough cool breezes to keep us from getting too hot. I can honestly say I'm getting accustomed to "open air" and I don't really miss the air conditioning.
A Special Thanks to those of you who sent us cards. We opened the first ones tonight after our devotional - those were very meaningful to each of us and we are very appreciative.
Hope all is going well back at Mulder. Mario and Maria asked after several of you today and they send their love and much thanks to you all.
That's all for now.

Same can't be said back at Mulder. Mike Smith cut his leg with a chain saw, 7 stitches inside, 9 out. Chris Jones did a good job on two fingers with hedge clippers. Haven't heard final results. So maybe we need you to pray for our safety back here. -- Gloria
