Every year around the middle of May is work week at camp.  Many of the mission members spend the night in cabins for the week.  Just like summer camp, we work, work, work to get the grounds ready for campers.  We have a special speaker morning and evening for an hour.  Dave Price was very encouraging and some messages were Mastering Ministry, Winning Over Worry, Adjusting My Attitude, and Dealing With Disappointment.  Dave is a great speaker. 

There were many work groups from different states to help with various projects.  Ditches were dug, screens repaired.  Every building was cleaned.  Railing for the new walk bridge was installed.  There was activity all over the campgrounds.  I always start getting excited for the camp season to start during work week.

At the horse barn many things were accomplished too.  The inside of the barn was power washed, the tack room cleaned, tack checked for each of the 18 horses used, the trailer cleaned, etc.  Even with all the extra jobs there is still regular the regular work of feeding, mucking, and some workouts. 

Martha, our work horse is doing great.  She is a timid horse, though.  We keep her separate from the herd so she does get something to eat instead of standing off in a corner.   I am not afraid of her anymore.  Yesterday I took her on a trail ride with about seven other horses.  She did just fine.

The two new horses are adjusting also.  We rode them tonight.  Their owner rode the big black and I rode the "spooky" Palomino.  He's not so bad. 

My foot is much better now.  They are healing nicely.  I'm glad.  I have a lot of work to do.

I must show you something.  I'll post it soon.  I'll have about 4 pictures of it.  It's what Nate also worked on during work week.
