Camp life


These lillies grow close to the spring below our home here at Camp. In the first years of living here and clearing the land everything was overgrown including these beautiful plants. We cut every small bush and plant including these lilies! But we realized these were useful for drawing the water level up as well as protecting the area from washing away! So we are allowing them to slowly grow back! They are tall marshy plants I wouldn't want to walk among them but they are in the ditch and spring area so I can enjoy the beautiful flowers but don't have to cross that way! 

 You may not be able to see it very well, but the mountain in the background is bright pink! Franklin and I walked out on the porch to this view a few days ago! WOW! The sun was shining on this mountain and it glowed! The same day many of you saw the eclipse! Here we didn't get to enjoy the eclipse although in Costa Rica the sun was about half covered by the moon, but at the time it was cloudy and rainy here! But GOD gave us this beautiful view a few hours later Praise the LORD! 
We are continuing the work here at the Camp and Bible Training center. Yesterday Franklin and James helped me wash our porch. Being outside it gets a lot of dust and spider webs so we cleaned the cieling and then washed the floors with the power washer. 
Today they have rented a jack hammer and are busting the rock out in front of the shop. We plan to put a basketball court there soon! Thank you for praying for us as we work here in Costa Rica! May the LORD provide your needs and give you strength to do the work HE has called you to! Each of us has been put on earth for GODS glory. Work today! Do it for JESUS! 
JESUS BLESS YOU! Franklin Evelyn Mary & James
