Spring Campaign Report #4

TGIF Thank goodness its friday, or better yet, as Tony Campolo says, "Its Friday, but Sunday's a coming." Friday was a great day in Norwich. By now, you know the drill in the morning. Lunch was prepared by one of our new hispanic families. Last evening, Cadet Daryl Calhoun convinced the ladies to cook him some real mexican tacos, and you know what, they agreed! Elaine took the ladies shopping following last nights meeting, and we picked up the tacos this morning prior to lunch.

Following Lunch, we went to do some Community Care Ministries, aka League of Mercy. It was a great meeting and many of the cadets shared that although we went to minister to the residents, they in turn ministered to us. One man who lost his legs said, "I don't have legs, but I still praise the Lord, what else should I do?, I can't complain, it won't get me anywhere."

After a quick time of relaxation at our quarters. The cadets put their feet up in the recliners, and were entertained by Jay as he showed off all of his movies and convinced them to watch an episode of the Dukes of Hazzard with him. I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Next stop was the childrens open air that was to be done on Sandy Lane. Just as we pulled in, the rain was falling steadily and we took what kids were picked up to corps for the activities that were to be done at the open air site. Tomorrow, the cadets will finish the open air by doing the door to door evangelism that was scheduled for today. They truly are troopers. They volunteered to do this on their time off.

Following a baked ziti dinner, we loaded the vans for New London, where the cadets had a chance to compete against the New London Bible Bowl team. I won't share the results, but I will share that it was a landslide. It was all in good fun and everyone were good sports.

It's Friday, but Sunday's a coming...
