Wednesday morning found sleepy guests (and volunteers). But Madeline and Winston had everyone up and about and the van left on time with Jayne once again the driver making the rounds. It can be tricky to get 2 to Whit Davis by 7:15, then a Mom to work across town by 7:30, then 2 to Clarke Middle by 7:45--whew...then to more leisurely take 2 to Bright Beginnings by 8:00 and then the other Moms to the Day Center. Yea Jayne, all were present and accounted for at the proper times!
Madeline and Winston meanwhile re-set the "volunteer bedroom" as the Week Day School. From Thursday on we will have photos to guide the re-setting of that room. They are in the Blue Host Week Book that stays at First Pres.
Wednesday found the missing laundry box back in it's rightful place--how is unknown! However, the drinking glasses were no longer in the small kitchen, but had made it upstairs to the big kitchen (their usual home). Since we want to be good stewards and not use paper or plastic, they were brought back down to the small kitchen. Hope they will stay put through Saturday night! This has been a mysterious week, with keys, laundry box and glasses gone missing then being found. And it is not Halloween.
Supplies such as fruit, granola bars and other healthy snacks were replenished, along with more OJ, and Milk.
Erik was the On Site/On Call Coordinator, and was there to greet the guests and Van Driver Bill Flatt--who deserves a gold star for driving three afternoons in a row. Thanks Bill!
Carol M. and Tanna arrived and went with the guests to Fellowship Hall for the Wednesday night supper. Everyone ate very well. And when birthdays for the week were recognized, our Ethan was applauded--he will be 12 on Saturday.
John and Sara were the overnight hosts. They reported that everyone was up a little later than usual. John worked with Crystal on her resume and job application. Keep her in your prayers, and all the other Moms--that they may find work that they will enjoy.
As we mark the middle of our Host Week we feel blessed to have such nice families in our church, we have enjoyed getting to know them. The guests always bless our lives in ways we never expect. We are also blessed--and grateful to have such caring volunteers. God Bless You Everyone.
