Then we went out to lunch... I asked John if we could try langos, as a pastor friend of mine had suggested. Somehow, that turned into a tour of the market trying new foods. We started at the langos stand, then moved to the meat market (my personal nightmare) and then to a Cafe. Langos is so good. It's like fry bread and you top it with anything you want. The meat market was another story. John decided we all needed to try blood sausage. Thank goodness they were all out so we just did some sort of liver sausage. It wasn't too bad but not sure I will eat it again. We finished our meal with Hot Chocolate with chili. Definitely the best hot chocolate I have every had.
After lunch, we finished our day serving with the Salvation Army. We were able to help feed 500 hot meals. It was truly humbling to know how cold we were outside while serving and imagining that many of the people would be out sleeping in the cold tonight. The team that we served with was amazing. They had the unique gift of showing God's love and kindness while maintaining order so everyone could be served. I am amazed that a kitchen staff of 4 can serve nearly 4,000 meals a week and do it with such grace. We were also given a tour of the men's halfway house. It was newly remodeled and beautiful.
Today I was again reminded that we serve a big God who is at work in every corner of the world. We are truly blessed to be called His children.
