Happy July 4th and 3rd also.

It was a late night on the 3rd so I didn't get to post. Yesterday was absolutely beautiful. We had a perfect day to work. The "old" guys were feeling somewhat better so we began some construction work that was needed--roofing a small dwelling, pulling off the old tin, placing new plyboard, and roofing paper. Claudia and I did a few things at the camp then went over to see if we could help with roof--we were kind of in the way so we helped Rhonda with kids then kayaked--my shoulders feel the pain.
The group from Sunshine Bible Academy is here and they were still cutting wood so Will stayed with them. Please pray for them as they begin VBS on Monday. They have taken Will in like he is their own--a great bunch of kids--I'm very impressed with their witness. We all went to Craig for Fireworks at 11:00 pm. it was just getting dark!!
To bed about 1:00am or so.
July 4th
We finished up a few odds and ends at Hollis Bible camp then went to our place to finish a few last minute things before leaving the island on tomorrow morning. I can't believe time has gone by so fast. It always impacts me how the days zoom by--I already miss the clear sky the tall, green trees and of course the kids!
So I will write you again after we get home to send a few more pictures.

Wed/Thurs

We were up--not quite at dawn but pretty close--over to Naukati for fishing. We met an old' friend of ours Charlie. It was very cool and rainy--he took us out close to Edna Bay for some Halibut fishing. Darrell and I caught the first fish--cod, then Claudia started reeling them in one after the other, halibut and cod. Everyone caught a halibut--small compared to the "big one" that got away but still will taste NICE... The rain held out most of the day but it was in the upper 40's most of the day. Darrell and Chuck went to bed feeling poorly, so Jeff got to clean 9 halibut and 13 cod.
Thanks to Jeff.
Today we woke up and guess what the SUN was out--great day to work but two of us were still not feeling well so it was a day of rest. Claudia did finish the sign she worked on a couple of years ago and we will be able to hang it soon.
SBA arrived last night and they cut wood all day--Will hung out with them--yes and even split some wood. I didn't watch and prayed through the day.
Well better get going--Claudia and I are thinking about walking down to Maybeso to wet a hook.
Talk to you guys tomorrow. Pray as we gear back up to work hard the next two days.
Attempted to add some pictures but I guess it was too much memory--
Pam, Chuck, Will, Claudia and Darrell
