Well our Internet has returned... Barely :)
We have had a very packed day today but a fruitful one at that!! We began our day at Houston Methodist Church and enjoyed a beautiful service there. After church, we were gifted with sponge cake and soda... a much needed and enjoyed refreshment :)
After the service, we made our way to the homeless shelter. There we set up a table and handed out shirts, flip flops, soap, toilet paper, and a bag of other toiletries. They were definitely much appreciated, and we were glad to provide!
We left the shelter and went to the Red Cross orphanage. It was a quick stop. We dropped off baby items and had a chance to hold some of the very tiny babies. They just recently got a new 3-month old baby girl who was absolutely adorable. We left there as enjoyed a wonderful lunch at Oasis. We were even able to get milkshakes :)
We then returned to the hotel to get prepared for the street feeding. We loaded the vans and hit the streets. We went through two huge pots of food today very quickly!! At one point, we stopped for what we thought was just a random stop so a few of us could switch seats. As we got out of the van, a small child who was living in a tony shack saw us and called out an gathered his friends. They all came running across the street to get food and Gatorade, and Andy escorted them back to their homes. What a God thing! We certainly know now that the stop was definitely not just a random event.
We are now all back at the hotel waiting for a wonderful pizza dinner!!
