In this past month, progress on the Welcome Center came to a standstill as schedules became busy and the HIS Ranch Crew was unable to work. But lately, if one would've stopped by the Welcome Center, they would've found one guy who was hard at work.
When Justin Steffen was laid off of work about a month ago, he thought that his free time presented a good opportunity to come to HIS Ranch and volunteer for a week or so. His handyman skills have been greatly appreciated! And his fruits have been amazing!
Walking outside this morning was a shocker! It was cold compared to the 60 and even 80 degree wheather we had been blessed with. Despite the cold wind whipping through over the lake, we had 23 bare root trees that came in that needed to be planted. So, what did we do? Of course we planted them! With a total of 6 people helping, we got all 23 planted within an hour and a half. After Susan & Shannon measured out where they would be planted, the rest of us began digging holes. Then like clockwork, we began planting the trees. But we didn't just do any regular planting. We tucked the trees in real nice and spoke and sang kind words of blessings. There is something 
about working as a team to bring new life that is truly amazing! We are so blessed!!!
