It was quite the rain storm we had last night. It ended this morning and the sun was out all day. It is drying up nicely now. I have 1 left over rv from last night tonight. They decided to stay 3 nights.  I took it easy all day and the couple that is staying a few more nights took me for lunch a couple doors down from here. It was very thoughtful and kind of them. Please pray for Rob and Brenda as they travel down here. Please pray for me as I will be going up to San Diego on Tuesday's and returning back here with a group on Wednesday. I hope everyone has a great and blessed week.  The bus I will be taking up to San Diego

Today was an easier day, cleaned up the pool and add a chemical and cleaned the extra set of pool water filters. It is time consuming job. Sprayed weeds in the play area and walked around and picked up little garbage the wind had brought in. Tom came and got the little utility trailor and picked up his garbage and then came back here and pick up ours to. It got real windy here mid afternoon but settled right down now. I feel better today and hope for another good sleep tonight. Thanks for your prayers and support, without you this all would not be possible. Ed  half of the front fence line after I cleaned it up.

I vacuumed the pool and cleaned up around it. spayed the weeds again and cleaned up garbage cans. tonight I have 2 RVs come in, they are from Quebec. They were as surprised to see B.C. plates here as I was to see Quebec.  I do feel tired tonight and hope to get a good sleep.

Tonight Tom picked me up and he introduced me to pastor Abraham and his wife, very nice couple, he understands english but does not speak it. I enjoyed our time with them and look forward to building a stronger friendship with them. He has a little church very close to here. Hope everyone has a great week.  Thanks for all your prayers.

Hello everyone, It was a beautiful day here today. It is suppose to get even warmer this weekend, like mid 20s. Today I was kept busy with lots of weed spraying. I think I have it almost under control now. I got one rv in right around the time I was going to leave for church, so I missed out on church again this week. Going on sundays is very hard to do if the weather is nice as families come out to play in the play grounds here. They come before lunch and stay till it is almost dark. I hope everyone is having a great week, I am.

greetings

Sorry for not updating earlier, but we had no internet the last few nights when I tried. We now have our own internet stick, I recieved it today. It was a long wait for the stick. Here is a picture of part of the campground, I am up on the roof of the pool house looking back at the office and palopas. It has been an interesting week so far, there have been a few campers thru here and we had more rain and today the sun is out again. I had Fernando, he works next door at the hotel, helping me all day. We got a lot of cleanning up done in the olove tree patch. The weeds just take of like crazy here after a rain. I have never seen anything like it. more weed spraying to do again. I also got our shop somewhat organized this week by building more shelves and filling then. I have been a bit stiff and sore lately, not used to all the fisical work. Not complaining tho.

feb 7

On the sixth I cleaned up long the treed fence line and the flower bed in the circle at back. Raked up more dryed oloves in the camping area. I have a tenter in and he was amazed how nice it was and said he would tell others about this place on thier trip south. It rained a lot in the evening and some during the night. Today the sun is out and the winds are picking up. Drying up some of the puddles left behind from last night. All the fisical work around here sure is not like sitting in the truck all day, I do feel  stiff and sore for the last few days but not commplaining about it as this is good for me. Go ahead laugh, I am. Looking forward to groups coming soon. Praying we don't get to much rain so the roads wash out again. God bless.

Feb. 5

Last couple days have been veryproductive with getting the vehicles ready for when the groups come down. The bus is almost ready, just need to change tires and give it a good bath. I still have Bud camping in the park and I have one more r.v. in for one night tonight. I have also been busy with yard work, the weeds are everywere.  I will have the drawings for the campground ready shortly.

Today was a very busy day. Started of watering trees and grass and I had to leave for a meeting with other ministries here that were meeting with local goverment officials. They are wanting us to partner with them in helping flood victoms that lost everything. Details are still sketchy but we are to meet again on friday. While I was out there I checked up with Elia and Celia and both are doing well. In the afternoon I watered some more and raked up the mess that the olive trees made. There is not much down time right now as I am trying to get as much done before groups show up.
