A video review of Family Mission Tour 2010

Many thanks to Andrew Morse for this great video review of Family Mission tour 2010.

Enjoy!


Day 5






Top plate anyone?






This was the last day for our family mission tour crew and the building is now ready for the roof trusses.






We send out our thanks to the Convention of Atlantic Baptist Churches family mission tour for all of their support and help with this construction project. We are also grateful for Kevin Munroe and his team that led the basketball camp for the children of our community.






It was a great week and the Lord deserves all the praise.






Glory to God in the Highest.






I remain,

A Whale of A Trip


Several of the families had a whale of a time aboard the whale watch boat, Mister Matthew, opperated by Island Cruises here on Campobello. Many thanks go out to Captain Mac Green for treating the group to an up close look at one of these fantastic creatures. They went out off the Lighthouse and down into the Head Harbour Passage following a fin back whale. God is a creative Artist and has made all things well. Here's a photo of them in action. Sorry guys but I could not zoom in enough to recognize specific people and I'm not good enough from shore to get one with the boat and the whale in the same shot. This is proof though that you were out there.

Day 2




Here are a couple of shots from Day 2. By the end of work time, the floor joists were all in place and the sub floor was almost finished. It was a bit of a chore to get the center beam straight but a little persuasion goes a long way. I'll keep you updated as things progress. The walls will be started tomorrow.

A great evening at Herring Cove










It was a lovely evening for a BBQ at Herring Cove Provincial Park. There were plenty of things to look at and pick up on the beach. The sun was shining and it was a great evening to be together.












Here are a few crowd shots to enjoy. We appreciate all the great things the family mission tour is involved in as they minister on our Island. Keep up the good work!

Day One

It was an interesting day with a few thoughtful moments while things were being figured out. The sill plate went on first and then the sill cap. The center floor beam had to be assembled and installed. The nearest level surface was the pool deck and it was a quite a sight to see all of us amateurs carrying a 40 some foot long beam made of three 2X8's nailed together. Brute force and enthusiasm! What a combination. Tomorrow shall be interesting as the work continues to put the floor together.
