In the interest of consolidating my belongings, the first stop on my trip was to Agape, where I re-packed the boxes I had stored there and shipped them to Freedom Farm. I had a wonderful but too brief stay, arriving in the late afternoon on Tuesday and leaving after lunch on Thursday. It felt a little bit like coming home when Brayton picked me up at the bus station.
A number of changes have occurred since I left at the end of May! A new shed was built on top of the platform that one of the work groups moved into the garden in the spring, and it’s beautiful. The chapel has a new maple altar and wood sconces for candles in the corders. And the third floor (where I lived) finally had wood flooring put down (leftover from the chapel project) and it’s absolutely gorgeous! They also changed prayer time, which no one informed me of, and so I missed 7:30 prayer – because it was at 7. Oops.
I got to meet all three - three! - of the new interns who will be living there through next summer, answer a few of their questions, share a little advice. I think they’re going to have a great time, but Ellen wishes there was another female intern...
