Hilltop Camp Setup - Sunday Report

Here's the pictures from today.

I am not a plumber... but I'll be putting all the pipe together for drains from the shower trailers and campers in the morning. Had an enormous amount of quality time with Corky at Lowes picking through bins for the PVC parts we needed for drain and water supply lines.

Our tents that were to be delivered between 8:30 and 9:00 via semi this morning weren't. Thought that specific a time for delivery of anything must be too precise to be realistic. Shoot, the cable guy can't say which day of the week he'll actually show up. Anyway, the truck broke down in South Carolina. The part isn't available till tomorrow, but they should still be delivered tomorrow they say.

The pressure is on. We're still awaiting the final approval of the water, cooperation from the satellite Internet service company (I'm getting certified to be an installer so we can have mobile Internet), and working to get a power supply to the camp other than generators... noisy generators. The first team is actually going to be in June 7 now.

Correction (and a reminder on how fast things change). At 9:30pm I got a call from Corky that the truck driver is at our exit and wants to know if we can unload him... He's getting a hotel till 9:00 tomorrow so it looks like we'll be putting up tents all day and I get to drive home Tuesday!

We had church with the Texans and local congregation who for the first time met in the fellowship hall of the new building! Carol and Royce Ogle from Whites Ferry Road were there with their associate minister who gave the lesson (after Royce led singing). One of Daphne's 11 year old protégés, Devon, came forward with her grandma to be baptized at the end of service. We all went out to the park where the camp is with her and she was baptized in the ocean... The Lord is alive and working diligently here and in these people! Prayer's are requested against the opposition who is working hard to the contrary.

Robert Madchen will be here with us tomorrow to set up the tents and get the camp finished and I'll get more pics out then.

Check back tomorrow!
