Sunday in the Hat
Posted on June 2, 2008 | Filed Under West Rome, What I'm learning
So, after Pamela’s comment on my blog last night, I guess I shouldn’t make the whole thing about food. However, my eating today was not much better than yesterday. But, boy did we have a great day.
First of all, you just have to hear that I love the people of the Hat. As we said our goodbyes tonight, I was simply reminded AGAIN of the friendships that we have built here. We litterally see these people about once a year and they are life long friends. I know without a doubt that Don and Sheila Chartrand would do anything in the world for me if they knew I needed it done. I feel the same way about the Stadolka family. They have the Bed and Breakfast where we stay and we are simply family with them. Tonight we had a great time around the campfire and it was just awesome!
So, for the days activities. We went to the Nazarene church this morning. It is always a blessing to worship with them. Pastor Dave has a HUGE heart for starting new churches and is always very supportive of us and what we are trying to do. He let me lead the prayer to start the service and that was a huge honor. I know he would do whatever he could to see us be successful with a church in the Hat. Then, I got to spend a few more minutes with Josh, the mini-donut man. We seriously speak once a year and are truly great friends. I have been so blessed with these relationships.
We had many more great conversations today in the process of building even more relationships. Jason is starting his Bible Study in his home this Wed night. He has people already planning to be there and that is huge.
Then, around four we started the tear down. It took about an hour and a half. Much quicker than I imagined it would happen. We moved tables, stacked chairs, and cleaned up all the other junk that had to be taken care of. Then we came back to the house and had the cookout.(see above)
So, tomorrow, we are going to leave town pretty early and head up to Banff for the day. This is not really a trip I want to make since I have seen the hotel up there about 4 times now. It has not changed yet. However, I am into eating at a place called Wild Bills which I love. There, I got the food back into the mix.
Then on Tuesday, the group will be headed to Georgia and I will be headed to Texas to see all my girls. I am just rediculously fired up about that. I miss them like crazy and am ready to be back with them.
That’s pretty much the wrap on the Canada trip. I’m sure tomorrow will be crazy and we’ll probably eat too much. I hope you all have as much fun as us.
Peace,

Hey everybody. I’m glad to hear that everything went well and that friendships grew even stronger. Wes was awesome, I called him when I got into DFW and he let me have the rest of the week off. Sweet! Today I am paying for it because we have been painting outside all day. I know that when people pull up this Sunday they will say WOW! before they even step out of the car, and that makes it worth every minute! Tell Jerry thank you again for the ticket from DFW to ATL. A BIG Thank You to everyone that prayed and tried to find some way for me to stay. That was amazing! Most people would’ve have been “better you than me” but you guy’s ROCK! I’ll be praying for a safe trip back home for all of you.
P.S. Tell Steve to bring me some of that steak sauce from Montana’s if he gets the chance!
Thanks Again.
God uses your passion for food to build relationshps for His glory and that’s just awesome! I must say not many people can do that…maybe it’s a gift! LOL Enjoy the rest of the trip and have a great time in TX!!! BTW, Sonic misses you
Yeah…not many people have the gift of building relationships over food. That’s why people like us have to stick together!
