Tuesday night
Vernie surprised us this morning by cooking eggs and bacon. This was our first treat for the day.
We continued with our wood work at the center. I worked on the window trim. Vernie designed and started building some classroom tables. He was able to finish one and it looks really good. I wonder if I can talk him into building me a new desk for my office.
After lunch, we continued our work during a brief rain. It was nothing like Monday’s deluge. Bob worked with us in the afternoon, working on building some shelf units for the offices.
We came back for dinner and had really good roast chicken. Bob had requested oranges and they were so good. I’m not sure when I have had such sweet oranges. This was our second treat for the day.
Well, today is All Saints Day and it is observed by much of the population here. I suppose it is a Catholic holiday. But since we are all saints, it’s a holiday for all of us saints.
Bob and I walked down to the cyber café but the one we usually go to was closed. They were probably observing All Saints Day. We walked to one a few blocks further and it was extremely crowded. He was able to get on line but I was never able to connect. I kept getting a strange message indicating that I had the same IP address as another system. I tried everything I knew to try from my system but could not clear the problem. They were so busy, it was impossible getting any help from the people there so we just left. We felt really bad because we promised to get the weather for Waterloo, IA for Ray but couldn’t.
After we returned and showered, Bob took us down to the Grand Café for ice cream again. We enjoyed the very smooth ice cream and very pleasant air conditioning. This was our third treat for the day. We got stopped again on the way to the cafe and then on the way back even though we went a different way.
Our devotion tonight was Phil. 2:12-18. It was my night to give the devotional. I just love verse 13: For it is God who is working in you, enabling you both to will and to act for His good purpose. We had a very nice discussion on how each of us was enabled for this trip. God put this trip on my heart by first giving me a desire, and then enabling me to act on the desire for His good purpose. God is so great! I will have much to share when I return home and my prayer now is that I will inspire others to do something similar.
