Week Number 21

This week was much different from the previous weeks.  We like change.

     On Monday we had a Challenge Course Team meeting to discuss our new assignment now that there are less guests visiting camp.  We will now be staining the cabins in Camp Esther, and Camp Rebekah.

     Mike and I attended the meeting thinking we would simply be getting instructions from the team leaders and we were asked to coordinate the missionaries.

 

     There are approximately 20 missionary couples asked to stain cabins.  There are thirty eight cabins to be stained.  We have three weeks to get it done.  We need to assign the missionaries.   Who goes where, when to be there, and what to do.  They also need to work on course at various times during the week.   Can we spell j-u-g-g-l-i-n-g?

    We spent the week spray washing, sanding and spraying a wood preservative on the cabins.  This is totally new to us.  This is a new challenge.

Working on cabin in Camp Esther

     We all worked hard Monday thru Thursday.  Families filled the camp Friday and Saturday so we worked on Challenge Course 5 all day, both days.  It's good to be busy.

     Monday evening all the missionary couples met together for a presentation on the Parable of the Ten Virgins.  We used a powerpoint that I made for the Knolls Ward.  It was a great evening and everyone seemed to enjoy the presentation.

LESSON LEARNED THIS WEEK:  Leadership was taught by Christ.
I really like this quote. 

 “Jesus said several times, “Come, follow me.” His was a program of “do what I do,” rather than “do what I say.”  . . .  He walked and worked with those he was to serve. His was not a long-distance leadership. He was not afraid of close friendships; he was not afraid that proximity to him would disappoint his followers. The leaven of true leadership cannot lift others unless we are with and serve those to be led.”
