Enjoying the Work

 We were a loud bunch of volunteers today but really got a lot done. Check out the video below: 

We were able to get Bibles wrapped and mailed out today. Below Bruce is labeling the Bibles to go out while Shirley, Vonnie and Sharon are folding studies. We go through a lot of the first packet of studies as each Bible we send out has that inside.

Marvin was given some real stumpers today. When we cannot figure out who or where a prisoner is we hand the study to Marvin who will do an internet search. There are a few times we have to give up but most of the time Marvin can find their correct spelling and or their correct number and address. Leila just didn't know what to do with one of them, handed it to Marvin and we were really pleased when he gave her the correct address.
Skip has been doing the director job since Bill died trying keep up with sending chaplain's Bibles and lessons. It is amazing how he has been able to keep this office running. Diane and mom worked on envelopes and folding studies today while Bruce ran the postage machine for all of us.
Below Sharon, Shirley and Vonnie are hard at work wrapping Bibles while the other Shirley processes all of the intermediate studies.
We ended our work with sitting around the table visiting with each other while enjoying a treat of cheese cake and fresh blueberries. Paula joined us today and told us about when she became a Christian as a sophomore in highschool. We enjoyed hearing her story and shared some of ours. We sure enjoy volunteering together at this office and appreciate so much the willingness of those that come to work.
