Our Year of Jubilee: February 2014

This is Cabin #6 for refugee families to live in while at Jubilee. We have 6 cabins in total plus a small apartment in the school. They range in size from a one bedroom to a large 3 bedroom with 2 lofts areas for sleeping as well. All have one bathroom and a combined kitchen/dining area and most have a large front porch. Cabin # 6 is a 2 bedroom that is attached to the childcare room where children ranging from a few months to 3 years play while classes are in session.

Nate and I were doing a "pre-cleaning" of this cabin, so here he is washing dishes in the kitchen/dining area.

We work hard to make sure everything looks as new as possible for the next residents. This stove had a brief kitchen fire on it and was reallllly dirty before I got my hands (and muscles!!) on it. It was hard work scrubbing it to pure white again!.

Just us. Bundled up even in the South. It's been an especially cold winter in the States and unfortunately Georgia is not an exception, although today I did enjoy a nice walk in close to 60 degree sunshine.

I celebrated 27 years of life with a bunch of kids eager to taste the DELICIOUS banana cake Nate helped make for everyone.

I'm not a baker, but with some help produced some pretty good looking bread. It tasted great too, but us a little "yeasty" in the center.

Oh yes, we even got a snowy winter. Here's the K-house during our snow storm which put a nice 2 inches on the ground. It's very unusual for Comer, GA to see snow, and it was the first time for all of the refugees. They finally got to see what their crazy English teachers kept describing as "very very very cold" during weather related lessons.
