This morning, Brent the Spider Killer lived up to his name more than once while some of the group were cleaning up around a storage bin. The story is that one spider was so big that it fought him for the wrench, but Brent won in the end. Crystal and I were sent to the kitchen to help chop veggies. I cried the whole time; I was chopping onions. After the chopping, we went and helped repair roads by hauling broken brick and concrete from the yard up to the road. Brent and Neil drove a 4x4 with no 4-wheel-drive, limited clutch and no gauges.
After an early lunch we put 52 people into an 18-passenger bus and a truck and went to a set of waterfalls. The drive to the falls was beautiful. At one point we came around a corner to find a mansion with stunning landscaping out on a ridge.
The falls were awesome! It was great for the kids and the cooks to have an outing, and we all loved it as well. It had rained a bit in the morning (maybe misting is a better description), but the sun came out when we arrived and stayed out until we were ready to leave. The bottom of the river is all sand, so there was lots of burying of people and making sand castles. The water coming over the falls contained a lot of sand as well, so, when you stood under it, you would get a shower and the added bonus of an exfoliation. The water would just about knock you to your knees; I am glad the falls weren’t any higher! We came home for the start of Sabbath. As we were waiting for supper Martin, the monkey, came to visit us. Please enjoy the pictures below.
See you soon!
