2006 Youth Service Project, BMABI

Certain Man and the trusty crew is having a great time in Indiana.  By last night, they had finished the chores that were supposed to last until Wednesday.  Today, there was a whole lot of waiting around for material, so Certain Man took off for town to see if he could find the lumber yard.  I was talking to him on the phone and he was LOST.  Can’t see how that would help the cause.  However, he was stopping for directions, and he could not say enough good about the young people. 

Some Praises:



  • Attitudes are really optimistic, enthusiastic and energized

  • The young people have been staying well.

  • The WALL came down with a spectacular display and there is a video to prove it.  (YES!!!)

  • The cooks have been doing a super job. 

  • Pancakes and biscuits and sausage gravy for breakfast

  • cookies, (awesome cookies!!!) and cinnamon rolls, too.

  • An invite for the entire team to someone’s house for supper tonight

  • Good working conditions, good working companions

  • Really good weather, which is a most timely praise since it rained Saturday and Sunday

  • The bickering is minimal

  • The hands are willing

There has been far more than this going on, and I am aware that the other parents are probably getting steady reports, but if anyone wants to see a few pictures, go over to WWW.Xanga.com/Jesses_girl99 and check it out.


The Members of the team are Certain Man, Jesse, Christina, Joel, Caleb, Abby, Pete, Jessica, Lori, Josh, Rach, and Laura.  They would appreciate your prayers.

  1. So glad to hear things are going well for them!!  Hope the rest of your week buzzes by!

  2. yeah!! Glad thing are going well!!   So are you basically home alone??

  3. Nope, not home alone at all — Eldest Son, Middle Daughter and Blind Linda are all here.  And I am very thankful for their presence.  But I miss Certain Man and Youngest Daughter rattling around Shady Acres.  And I miss Eldest Daughter and Beloved Son in Law coming and going in their usual manner. . .  But we are over half done with the nights, so that looks good to me!

  4. Tired?  Yes.  That’s why I relax and blog most evenings!

  5. Youth group trips are a wonderful thing to behold when there is willingness to help and good attitudes! Who is doing the feeding of the livestock? I gave YS a farewell hug last night and they are on their way to Iowa. What a great group of people!
