Imagine giving a barbecue with 1,500 guests...wow! Jessica G. said that this morning they walked around the city handing out fliers to people ...telling them "free food" and inviting them to the barbecue. Then they went back to the homeless shelter and did some decorating. Pastor said it is a community cook out and people with all kinds of different backgrounds came. There was one man there who brought his guitar and played. Pastor thought it quite likely he was an old rocker who possibly had played in a rock band in his younger days. He spoke to one man who had recently gotten off drugs and was trying to get his life back together.
"My heart goes out to them," Jessica said. "I've had such amazing conversations, and I have respect for them. For many of them, the street people are the only family they have." It was with heart-felt emotion that Jessica said, "You really know God's here." She also commented that God has really blessed us.

Hi, JJJYBTTMKMN,
You will be coming back from your service work to hot weather - summer is most certainly in Orofino :). Drink water on the way home.
Tonight is the Fourth of July celebration at the park. We will not have 1,500 to feed :).
Pastor and Nicole how are you fairing?
Jesse F. what do you think of your experiences?
Dad and Maddie say "Hi, Jesse". Maddie says, "Bring me back sea shells".
Really Love you,
Daphne/Mom
