Well, I just sat down from being on my feet since 5pm. 5-8pm was our spirit night at Chick-Fil-A on Colombia, and it was definitely hard work. So many families came out to support our trip, praise God! Thank you to everyone who was there tonight, we appreciate it so very much.
For the majority of the time, I was back in the easter bunny suit. It was nice to be sitting and in the air conditioning this time. The kids were so precious, even though a few were thoroughly terrified of me. If it weren't for all the smiles, hugs, and high fives I received tonight, I would not have been able to stay in that sweaty suit! It was pretty yucky, yet somehow, I would be happy to do it again. Around 7, when most of the families had left, I was able to retire the suit for good, grab a bite to eat, and start serving the customers and the restaurant. It was fun to talk to some of the people and share a little about the missions trip and Gateway. It's really cool how God can turn something as simple as serving a couple at Chick-Fil-A into a chance to share my faith. The employees at Chick-Fil-A were amazing, too. It was a pleasure to serve them by cleaning the restaurant and play place, serving the customers, etc. Mrs. Gina would not stop cleaning the windows! I also got a picture of Pastor Charlie and Mr. Daniel (he's the leader of the missions trip) cleaning the windows. Let's just say, those windows were sparkling by the time we all left!
Thanks again to the missions trip team for your hard work, everyone who stopped by to support us, and a BIG thank you to Chick-Fil-A for hosting this! It was such a pleasure. Pics will be posted soon :) God bless!
