Life in Warm Springs

One of the coolest things about this summer is that Robert and I get to host 1-week teams in Oregon for a few different weeks. This is our first team week working on the Warm Springs Indian Reservation in Oregon. Our teams this week are from Memphis, TN (home town, yay!) and Kansas City. Both teams have been out here several times and have been wonderful to get to know and work alongside. We were very blessed!! 

Since Robert and I are the only married summer staff....we present a few obstacles. The biggest of which is sleeping accommodations. During the team weeks, all the girls stay in one area of the church and the guys stay in another. Neither of us would mind that for one week, but multiple weeks might get hard. So the Granberry's fixed us up with our home away from home-- the RV!! We are in the process of naming it...Robert wants to call it "Sweet Baby Jank" but I'm not so sure...




Another fun thing about staying at a church, is there are no showers :) Therefore, we have this wonderful creation--- the shower trailer! You wouldn't believe it unless you see it. It's quite inventive. 

the trailer bed is fairly normal...those are tarps around the sides


the entrance

inside-- these stalls only reach to your waistline...therefore bathing suits are a must!

In years past, there has only been barrels of water that are heated by the sun during the day. But this year we got fancy....we hooked up the hoses to the indoors and got some wonderful hot water! Thank goodness, because we have had some chilly and rainy days! I can only imagine what the people who live across the street think of this contraption....I bet we are constant entertainment.
