Because David is spending so much time doing so many different things, you will now get to hear from me, Chelsea about what is going on here in France.
David is serving on service team – doing the dishes, cleaning bathrooms, cleaning floors, etc. He is co-leading a video workshop, which is fun, but a lot of work and takes up over half of what would be considered his “break.” Also, he has been asked to do a few things with the program – he will be at one of four stations this morning answering one of the questions that has been asked by the campers in a question box; the question is “Why did God require a perfect sacrifice?” Finally, he was asked yesterday to speak on Thursday for the morning service, so he had two days to prepare about a twenty minute sermon on the problem of evil. He has spent much time studying this issue, so he is well-equipped, but it is still tough and a lot of work for such short notice. Please pray for him as he prepares this talk for Thursday morning. It will be between 10 and 11:30 AM Thursday, so 3-4:30 AM Wednesday night/Thursday morning in the Midwest. So, if you are up and think of him, please pray for God’s Wisdom, His Words, and His Spirit.
Now, I am cooking, as you know, and I feel like it is going super well. I am exhausted, and I am exhausting my ladies in the kitchen, but I can stick my feet in the fountain with cold water and heal them up. We all feel really good about the food and the environment and the service, and I know that the staff is feeling the same way. We got our final order in today, so that was awesome, and such a load off Rose’s and my shoulders. (Rose is camp staff here and the woman I have been working on the menu and order with – she is awesome and encouraging and helpful.) Our first night, I served boeuf bourguinon, and it was a hit, and still my favorite thusfar, but everything else is going over really well too. I am just so incredibly happy that there is a place where God can use my passion for cooking and hospitality for His glory.
Anyways, once again, please pray for us. Once tomorrow is over, we will have a day off, so that will be much needed after everything that has happened.
We love you all!
