WAYNE / SAM / WADE / KEITH / TREY / TYLER / CHRISTIAN / EBY / CHRIS / JOSH / CAITLYN / GINA / MERRITT / MADELINE / BAILEY / SAM / ELAINE / TERESA / ANNA / TWIG / RYAN / STEVE / BLAKE / HAMPTON / all came out in below freezing temps to be God's hands and feet.

We fed the first group inside, which was a kindness to both groups.
FISH STEW
GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICHES
DESSERT
HOT CHOCOLATE/WATER

We used Texas Toast for the grilled cheese and it turned out great, maybe even better than regular bread, because it took longer to cook, which meant the cheese got more time to melt. MMMMMMMMMMM. Melted cheese.

I left the fish stew to others to cook. Not a fan of fish in the stew setting. 'Nuff said.
Our guys eat it like champs, though, so we'll keep cooking it.

The crowd was smaller this week and as cold as it was, that's okay. It means people got somewhere warm and stayed there.
The ones that came got a hoodie or a blanket. They were glad to get them, too.
A couple in the church, who have been a great help to us in the past, provided 60 hoodies. They were nice quality hoodies that will go a long way towards keeping them warm.

A quick story to illustrate how cold it was at the second stop: Because everyone can't drink hot or rich stuff, we serve water along with hot chocolate. When we're getting ready to leave, we usually take the water that's left and sling it on the top of the tables to rinse them down.
Last night I slung the water on the tables and before we could break them down, pick them up , and put them on the truck, there was a sheet of ice across the top of the tables.
20 seconds, tops. Solid sheet of Ice.
