Today we woke to the most beautiful skies of the week. After morning prayers, we enjoyed a meal of scrambled eggs and assorted breakfast foods.
Today, our opportunity to visit Spruce Island has arrived. We (if we all fit onto the boats) will depart shortly for the island to prepare the shoreline for the arrival of the pilgrims on Saturday. Our task is to remove kelp ... which as we learned last night on our tour of the docks looks like small trees but underwater (in mass) looks like a jungle.
It is quite reassuring to learn the teens can be extended to do most anything asked of them ... we should never underestimate their capacity to lift themselves to meet a challenge.
Shout-outs to Hannah, Samuel, Benjamin, Elizabeth, and Gregory.
