We Have Blessings A Plenty…

December has been busy as we find ways to serve in Immokalee.

DSC08290 Delivering a ‘real tree’ to our Asst. Den leader’s family with the help of the Spanish Elders!

DSC08294 This is the crew we usually pick up in our SUV to take to scouts on Wed. night. We squeeze them all in (shhhh….)

DSC08299 Dec. 8th, 2012… The day of the Christmas Parade in Immokalee. We met that morning to start decorating – these 3 boys are brothers. Hammering on pieces of wood to our Rock Climbing Tower!

DSC08306 Our finished product- a 55 ft. semi truck bed- loaded with boys and leaders!

DSC08302 17 boys :)

DSC08305 Donna & Monica

DSC08307 Archers and B.B. Guns stations are ready…

DSC08308 Rock Climbers- just to share an uplifting story – Wilson on the right is 12 and one of our oldest and has really taken on a leadership role. As the day progressed the rain clouds were coming in and we began to feel drops. Wilson gathered the boys on the truck kneeling for a prayer so it wouldn’t rain. I also said a silent prayer that these boys wouldn’t be disappointed. The rain didn’t come…. Again after we were in line for the parade and the clouds were looming… I heard fold your arms for a prayer- neither Steve or I had requested it.  Another prayer was said and even tho’ it rained at the church and other parts of town we stayed dry. An example of ‘Simple Faith’
