Sunday Night by Cara Mastic

Hey blog reading individuals, nice to be conversing with you! So this morning we turned a new corner of being way more rested than we have been all week, and that combined with a very light schedule equaled much happier loggers. We started our day with some nummy pancakes and bacon (that I didn’t eat). Next, we cleaned quickly as to impress (and not freak out) the church going folk. The church service at Lawrence Road Presbyterian was completely taken over with LOG songs, children’s activities, Log people, small groups with the congregation during the service, and a pieced together sermon with Log kids and adults, and a benediction in song holding hands around the sanctuary. I think we may have rocked their world a little, and gotten them out of their comfort zone, and hopefully made a lasting impression. The Log team was able to see a good number of participants at church, and it was great to get a little more time with those lovely kiddos.  After worship we had fellowship time with the congregation which all of the team loved because we were fed yummy snacks and WE GOT COFFEE!! When the church congregation had cleared out, we hopped in our charter bus with a few extra participants and adults and road tripped to a Chinese buffet for lunch. I think we all ate a little too much there, and many of us got very fitting fortunes out of our fortune cookies. With our bellies full we loaded the bus and headed to the church again to spend an afternoon relaxing with few structured things to do. Dinner was chicken alfrado, using Seth Proctor’s recipe, fried potatoes, using Nan Noecker’s recipe, and other yummy items. When dinner was eaten, we tore down our tabernacle. We cleaned up, cleaned up, everybody, everywhere until all of the things on Terry’s list were completed. We got a little bit of down time before we gathered for a closing (much like everyone also did at the Olympics today) to our weekend. The closing had care-o-cell questions, singing, sharing, and thanking, and was a fantastic way to wrap things up. Our night ended with time to chill, cuddle, play cards, sing, and dance together. PS Kim loves her mommy, so do I, and so do all of us here on team. To all you parents…we miss you.
