Hyaets Spring 2008 May 1, 2008
Hi from Hyaets!
We have had a super busy day, beginning in the neighborhood with an invitation to each home to join us for Sharing Day on Saturday. After lunch we began pulling unbelievable stuff from the shed behind Helms and Greg’s home; we emerged three hours later musty, dusty and crusty but well satisfied with the day’s labors. Lorene and Sue spent an hour doing their nails – performing “nailectomies” on dozens of pieces of salvaged lumber. Under Fearless Leader’s direction, Meriam, Sigsby, Patty, Beth and Wilton removed furniture, lumber, hospital beds, interesting assortments of trash and doors. The shed contained, we joked, everything but the kitchen sink – lo and behold, in the farthest dark corner of the shed, we discovered the sink!
Check out the pictures of our efforts, including the Before & After pics of the shed. Neighborhood musclemen came by to help, and we welcomed their strong young arms and energy. Once the shed was emptied and swept, we moved some of the furniture into it because it will become their clubhouse for neighborhood ministries.
Climaxing the evening was a surprise anniversary cake celebrating Bert’s 13th year of service at HRBC. We made merry over a dinner of beans, rice and fruit and are ready to recoup our powers for tomorrow!
Bert and Wilton rented a U-Haul to take the tremendous amount of junk to the dump tomorrow. We have another shed to empty, plus trips to the dump and work in the community garden.
Please continue to remember our ministry here in Enderly Park and the image of Christ we are prayerfully trying to portray. We love you!
Sue

Fearless Leader, huh? Don’t be too nice to him. I have to live with him when he gets home.
Praying for you all! Isn’t it great when you can see such wonderful results from your labor?
Love to all,
Rose
