Wow! What a day.
Tim mentioned in the last post that some students from Drake came to ISU to share the gospel. I had the privilege of hosting them at our house when they were not on campus. Originally there was to be about 25 people. So for lunch a made a BIG pot of chili and Dawn B. & Kathy Hanson each made a different soup for the students. Thank you so much to both of them for helping out. For supper I had planned lasagna, but realized I wouldn't have enough since more students had shown up (there were about 50 people in our house). So I decided to make some chicken and rice casserole. However, I didn't have any chicken, but as God would have it I called Christie to use her oven and she just happened to be at Fareway so I asked her to pick up some chicken for me. Thanks for delivering the goods. I couldn't have done any of this without any of these wonderful women.
Then I also had the blessing of being served by some of the Drake students. I expected to serve them but they were so eager to help- at least 10 of them came to me at different times to ask how they could help. They picked up the food at Christie's, served food, poured drinks, cleaned up, did some dishes. A couple of them even helped my younger kids by getting their food and playing with them. Savana and Wayne especially latched on to the students. Thank you so much to the Drake students for coming to serve by sharing the gospel and sharing their lives with me and my family.
It was a long day and I was tired but it was a good and refreshing day.
