On Saturday we went to Pantal, but, we began our extravaganza on Friday night shopping. We bought lots of eggs, two gigantic tubs of mayo, bread, a block of cheese, (it reminds me of velvita), powdered juice and bread. Then on Saturday we hard boiled the eggs and made egg salad sandwiches. They say the more mayo the better it tastes.
Monday we fed Arellano. Preparing for this one seemed easier because there were more people available to help; it went by real quick! Same food as Pantal. This time when we put the sandwich in a plastic bag, we put a name on it, from our kids ministry roster, with the idea that it might keep it on the calmer side rather then wild.
It was raining when we left and I didn’t bring the camera so I have no pictures of this time. We didn’t do a story this time, for multiple reasons, we just passed out the sandwiches. Since Fronie is in charge of the Kids Ministry here she called out the names so the children could get food. We would put aside the sandwiches for the kids who weren’t around to collect them. When all the names were read we tried to get the kids in a line, this proved to be unsuccessful. There were parents, teenagers and kids all crowded around, little ones almost getting trampled on, we had to give up trying to keep controlled. All at once the box got destroyed and the rest of the unnamed sandwiches were fought over.
I will post another short blog hopefully tomorrow with a few thoughts I have regarding the feedings. J also more pictures!
Great to see ya’ll out assisting the people. Especially after the tragic typhoon. Glad to see ya’ll not effect much by the rain/flooding. Our prayers are with you always.
What a treat for the kids…mayo sandwich with cheese. April told me most just eat….bread…mayo is a treat.
