Aldersgate Enrichment Center Early, Texas Week 2 Nov 8 to 15

This is our second week in the Aldersgate Enrichment Center in Early, Texas. We have made a lot of progress but it is such a large project that with only one week to go we have alot to do yet.

 On Sunday we attended the Contemporary service at the First United Methodist 
Church of Brownwood

 After church we went to Humphery Pete's for lunch.
 It is a local restaurant that was decorated with antique signs.

 On Sunday night we had snacks and a movie.  We watched "Joshua."

Doyle and Frances worked on installing the electrical wiring.We have had to run several thousand feet of new wire on this project. They have worked hard to keep each line identified for what is going to.

Steve and Robert put up over 100 sheets of drywall this week. 
The walls at the outside edge of the room is over 15 feet high and over 
20 feet in the center of the room. 

Dennis stapled insulation into the walls. This insulation was all donated to the camp.

 Tracy put expanding foam into the cracks on the walls to seal them up.

Nancy worked at mudding the screws on the walls.

 Tuesday night we had movie and soup night.  We watched "Seven days in Utopia."

 Wednesday Dennis did devotions for Aldersgate. Two of the residents helped out. Dennis was asked to explain to them the meaning of the word "NOMADS".

 Dennis showed Bobby how to use the tape buddy for taping seams in walls.
Robert and Dennis framed in a new wall in the back entrance of the building.

On Friday we visited Brown County Museum of History. 

The old jail pictured here is referred to as the castle because of its looks.

 We were able to tour the first two floors of the old Brown County Jail.

 In the museum there was a display of old branding irons from the Brown county area
.
Bullets, Badges, and Bad Men was the name of the gun display room.

 Guns were on display from several eras.

 We also went to the "Martin & Frances Lehnis Railroad Museum."

The museum was filled with model and miniature trains of all sizes and kinds.
They also had old lanterns, lights, dining dishes,& other railroad related items on display.
