The Final Truss

Hi all,

WOW! WOW! WOW! Here is the final truss being set into place already! All of the tradesmen & women were excited to see this as it signaled they could get back inside the structure to work!

They didn't work for long though as a wonderful meal of ribs, corn on the cob & coleslaw was served a bit after 5:30. After a meal, some cookies & conversation THEN it was back to work.

There isn't much I can say about the project itself except that there is no way to describe what happens here in words. It is clearly the bond of love & friendship in conjunction with Holy Spirit that moves this along. Enjoy the MANY pictures I've posted on Dropshots and look for more in the coming days!

So happy for the congregation with such progress in this first day of real construction from what I understand even tho quite a bit of essential complex preparatory not to be minimized assembly of cooking, washing and etc. areas were required. I'm looking forward to when my emotions with Jehovah's help will allow me to attend.

Wallkill Bethel

We got up at about 6AM and started getting ready so we could be at Wallkill about 8AM. Shawn and the boys went down to the hotel restaurant to get breakfast and I ironed shirts and pants and got ready in a male free room! Wallkill was about a 30 minute drive from our hotel in Newburgh and was fairly easy to find thanks to Google. We missed one turn right in the town of Wallkill so had to get directions at the little deli in town. When we arrived, we were able to visit a wonderful display in the lobby about the history of the Watchtower and Awake magazines and the Watchtower organizations radio station WBBR that was in existence in the early days. Very interesting! I also got the "Noah" and "David" DVD in ASL from the literature counter there. So exciting as it's one I don't have! Next, our tour guide Brother Lester Slack came to the lobby to give us the tour of the printery and bindery. Lester has been a member of the Bethel family for over 27 years, ...

We've arrived :)

Jonathan (aka Mojo) did the first post from the Detroit airport. We are now in Newburgh, NY @ the Ramada Inn. Unfortunately, the wireless internet is down here so I'm updating quickly from my phone. We arrived safely, but tired. The boys swam & we're getting ready for an early bedtime as we tour the Watchtower Farm & Printery tomorrow morning in Wallkill, NY. We'll talk to you tomorrow! ~ Lynetta, Shawn, Noah, Jonathan & James

The BIG City!

Image
This morning, we slept in (until about 7AM). We got ourselves together and decided to go into the City. From here at the Newark Marriott, we took the hotel shuttle to the AirTrain station. We boarded an AirTrain to the PATH station (New Jersey's train system). We took the PATH into NYC and arrived at Penn Station. Then, we began to walk. And walk. And walk some more. We went to McDonalds for breakfast just because it was fast, relatively cheap (by NYC standards) and we could sit down. After McDonalds came the question - what should we do now? We decided on the Empire State Building first. At the Empire State Building, we went on a simulated helicopter ride called the Skyride . It was ok but not quite real enough for us. Then we went to the 86 th floor observatory to take pictures and see the sights high above the city. It was incredible how much you could see! Next, we headed over to B&H Photo, the world's largest photo/video store. Shawn got a new lens for his camcor...
