Week 2 - The Projects

I have honestly never had such an amazing week as this past at CCC.  I honestly believe what made it one of the best weeks was that we only had 38 campers and six CMGs (Christian Mission Groups).  If you have never been to CCC, this is an EXTREMELY small group.  As in I have never been with less than 9 CMGs and we were at only 6 this week.  But such a small community creates one amazingly close group.  By the end of Sunday I basically already knew every camper's name and all of our campers were already mingling, which normally takes a few days!  With all that being said, because we only had 6 CMGs we only worked for 23 families, but I said only lightly, because that is still 23 people we may not have previously reached.  Also, I don't know if I previously mentioned it, but each family we work for this summer will receive a bible!!! I know don't get too excited, but the admin decided with a little extra money we had left over last year that we would provide each family we worked for this summer with a CCC Bible, which is about 700 on average.  This week I wasn't super involved with to many of the projects because as you know I am a Program and not a Field, but we did in fact build a 32ft Wheelchair ramp for Mrs. Joy Vance who I visited for the first time about two weeks ago.  She is an amazingly sweet woman and the ramp, was such a need as she is getting much older and to enter her house she had to either walk up five steps or nine steps at the two different entrances to her house.  The steps were slowly making her legs bow out do to her age and arthritis.  Mrs. Joy Vance was a super sweet woman, but I mostly interacted with her daughter Angie, because she suffers from highly developed Alzheimers and would forget about the wheelchair ramp over night, but I'm so glad we were able to do it for her.  We also built three other wheelchair ramps as well as a floor repair and began a two week underpinning project of a mobile home!  We had a lot of projects not quite get done, and so staff members go out to finish those projects on Saturday and I was thinking we were going to have quite a hard Saturday, but God truly blessed us by bringing my family, Jozy's family, a past adult camper, a past camp director, and a j-staffer to help us complete projects and we got the all done surprisingly earlier!  It was awesome getting to go out and finish a wheelchair ramp for Mr. Berry Babb!
