We had a very relaxed day on Friday, recovering from all the adventures that came before! After breakfast, we met to chat about our highlights from the Apple Hill trip. I shared with everyone about my dream, and got rather teary about it (tears seem to have become a theme for me lately, ha ha!). everyone prayed with me, and then it kind of went into a time of prayer over everyone; especially agreeing together that the things we feel we’ve been given, or that we’ve learnt here in this special place, won’t be lost as we return to our homes, and the various situations that are waiting for us all. It’s just so good to be surrounded and supported by family like this. After lunch we had a free afternoon, and then after supper we had the extreme privilege of listening to Justina’s story. The hand of God has been so evident in her life –protecting her... and we are all so grateful for it!
Saturday was also very relaxed – I think we are all still feeling quite tired! I did my laundry this morning before brunch, and then was entertained by the few energetic people who managed to join in with the weekly aerobics. We did a bit of farm cleaning today, and then we transitioned into Art Day. We carried on with the mapping projects we began a while back, and I managed to finish mine today. What a great feeling! When we were done, we got to wax them. This is a great way to finish a piece – it gives it great texture. And next, we rubbed some tar over the wax. This helps give it a more antique look. Everyone’s finished productions looked SO great! So different, but so special.
A little later we had supper together outside, at the cook-shack. And then we traipsed up to the Helser’s house to watch Alice in Wonderland, projected on a screen set up in their garden. We had sodas and home-made kettle-corn to go along with it. Happy days :o)
