Day 9

26 loaves of pumpkin and banana bread were pumped out of my little kitchen today!  I had a great group baking.  We also boiled about 180 eggs and cut four big bunches of celery into sticks.  We are on track for Sunday, and I think I will even be able to go to the beach tomorrow with the team!

Chad wanted to make sure there was coffee every morning.
The group has been enjoying it, as they wait in line to make their lunches.

Judy, one of our short-term volunteers brought me beautiful flowers and a card today.  They brighten my kitchen!

Chad and Pastor made final plans for the church services this Sunday.

This is me with Pastora and Angel and Nick, who are from Alaska.
Angel brought eagle feathers to dinner tonight and gave one to Pastor and Pastora.  
Angel explained that it is a tribal practice in Alaska to give a eagle feather to
someone you wish to honor.   It was a special thing to witness and so meaningful for Pastora.

Tomorrow most of us are all going to the beach for a baptism and playtime in the sand.  Several people will stay here and keep working on the new church.  Should be a fun day!
