When it rains...we party!

Sept 13, 2008

Well, it was 67 weeks in the making!!! It finally rained on us downtown. And I must say... not just rained on us, but POURED on us!!! We were standing in water up to our ankles, our clothes were stuck to us, and the water was just running down our hair and into our faces. I wasn't even able to take many pictures because my camera was getting too wet. The one Ironic thing about the timing of the rain, was that this was the first week that we had our trailer and tow vehicle available to transport everything and serve lunches out of the concession window. The lunches were perfectly dry, tucked away in the trailer, and the other stuff like fruit and snacks that were in a ziplock bag were the only things that got wet, and that was of no consequence. What was really amazing to me and other was the fact that we were all out in this monsoon, and everyone acted like it was sun shining!!! We were soaked, but were laughing, drinking coffee, sitting on benches, and eating. It was quite an experience, and probably an even bigger sight. JOY poured out in the mist of the storm!!!

But we were all back to normal this past week with dry weather and sunshine! We were also joined by a local youth group that came to serve with us during their 30 hour famine. Approximately 20 youth came and passed out fresh fruit and apple sauce.
