Gentlemen,

It was a blessing to work with each of you today at Camp Sumatanga.

Before leaving camp I went to the maintenance shops and said good-bye to Stephen DeMedics and Mark Paris who were helping Sam Williamson load up a truck there.  They thanked us profusely for the help we gave them today.  Indeed, by the time they finally split the big logs still to be split which are already at the maintenance shops plus load up and bring the remaining logs both teams cut at Pool Camp this afternoon and then split them, they should be set with firewood for some time.  And the super-long straight logs we preserved at Pool Camp will be converted into usable lumber planks of some dimensions when the camp neighbor brings his portable saw mill to the site tomorrow.

They offered to host us any time we “itch” to operate our chainsaws as we await the severe storms for which our ministry was created to follow and respond.  They said they always have trees down or needing to be taken down in the woods - as well we saw today!

For now our one day work assignment has been completed, but we can go back again any time.  Stay tuned for a brief MailChimp blast (in a day or so), complete with a few pictures, so we can share what we did today with our full roster of 360+ friends of the ministry.

Thank you, each of you, for your help today.  

In His Service,

Bob
