We have been in contact with Jake & Verna Martens who are Project Directors at J.B. and with whom we have become friends through our volunteering together at Chunchula, Ab, last year. They gave us "the lowdown" on the R.V. park, lack of laundry facilities there, the fact that the nearest large centre is, quite coincidentally, P.A. (Port Arthur, Texas), about 30 miles away! They gave us a rundown of the work they've been doing and the progress being made. We were happy to hear there is WI-FI in the RV Park. YAY!
They also recommended we check the MDS website, which we did. And we learned about ALLIGATORS!! In Alabama, we were advised there actually WERE alligators but they were way back in the swamp behind the bushes and never would be seen where we were parked. Not so in J.B. I wonder where I can get some Alligator repellant. And I suppose we will be "treated" to some alligator stew or steak as well. Yech.
In checking the map, we find that J.B. is DIRECTLY south of Prince Albert. Straight down to the Gulf of Mexico. It must be almost on the Texas/Louisiana border. We will be having the sun in our face every minute of driving on our way down there again... Love it! I am especially looking forward to spending a day and night in Texarcana to look around some more. Also, they are in the same time zone as we are, which is nice.
That's the latest on our upcoming trip. Christmas is fast approaching and there is much to do!
