There are about 100 teens and adults here from three churches in Texas doing local mission work in Franklin County. They are sleeping in MUMC and using the school field house for showers. Someone said they were a well oiled machine. Their leadership is awesome. Ed and I had the priviledge of having them for a cookout and swim party tonight and we all had a grand time. Ed cooked the best hamburgers with all the trimmings and Susan (or Bubba) and Dale made brownies. Everyone ate until everything was gone and their were smiles on all of the faces. Ed said they broke the record for the largest number of people in the pool so far. I also found out that they are doing work on some homes of people I know--deserving people and that made me happy.
All of the people were very nice and seemed happy to be in Meadville. They were very pleased with the help they were getting from Tyson's and folks around town. Sheila is even going to keep the Snoball Stand open until late on Thursday night just for them. Thanks, Sheila!
The burger line was as popular as the pool--especially the brownies. Thanks to Linda and Janice for all their help. The team was actually upset that they didn't get to help.
There are about a dozen vans like this driving around Franklin County full of hard working teens and adults. If you see one of them--give them a hug and say "thanks" for what they are doing.
And thanks guys for letting us serve you tonight. We had a great time. God bless you all on this trip and others that you make. Have a safe journey home and don't forget the Snocones on Thursday!!
