Tang and Bang

This morning we woke up bright and early to an incredible breakfast prepared by Marianna and George. While having breakfast, we went through day three of the least of these journey. We then headed over to Mandarin United Methodist. Most of us rode in the RV, but Jon, Lewie, and Adrian had to outdo everyone by riding their bikes over to the Church. Dan Stanley had us do the presentation to his sunday school group. The group was extremely interested in the She's My Sister program in the Congo. It was encouraging for us as a team to be with such a passionate group of elders, and they were encouraged in the same way to be with us. After the church service we had a time of fellowship with the congregation with cake and tang. Not only do our lime green and purple shirts make us easier to see while biking on the roads, but they also shout visitor to anyone in the Church. Following the service a man named Steve was kind enough to have a few of us to lunch with some folks from the congregation. Once everybody made it back to the house within thirty minutes our whole team was scattered around the living room sleeping on the floors and couches. Slowly the team woke up and moved around the house having much needed alone time. We then ate like kings once again with a feast of chicken, pork chops, salad, fries, and haagen-daz bars to finish it off. The family had us do a presentation to them. We are eternally grateful to Marianne, George, Adrian, and Andrew for treating us as brothers and sisters in Christ. We are currently finishing our night up with a team watching of Apollo 13 while drinking some Tang (the first drink drank on the moon). Thanks for the movie and inspiration, Mr. Larry! Great day to be alive I know the sun's still shining when I close my eyes. There are some hard times in the neighborhood but why can't everyday be just this good.
