Keith took Annalisa and Wendy to Sowers Harvest Café by 7:15 so they could be assistants for the staff for the day. The rest of the group arrived when they opened after 8:00, and enjoyed a delicious breakfast.
We left Wendy and Annalisa at Sowers for the day, and the rest of us headed back to ABT headquarters to do odd jobs around the grounds. The ladies washed windows and blinds with Theo’s help.
The men helped run a wood chipper and later Brenda and Lonita helped spread the mulch. The manual work outside helped refresh everyone!
Meanwhile, Anita went with Ernest Eby and Shawn Miller to the student commons on Penn State campus. They advertised the student club, Happy Valley Christian Community, that Shawn is part of and found students who were willing to take part in a student survey.
After Sowers’ famous Thursday burgers for lunch, we spread out at our base for a few hours of rest and solitude. The sun was bright and warm, and it felt good to have margin in our full schedule and enjoy the good weather.
We met in town to go to an Indian restaurant, Café Alina. The proprietor met us at the door and took excellent care of us. He told us the servings are big, and which ones can serve more than one person. The butter chicken, biryani, and marinated chicken with rice was fantastic!
We wrapped up the day by debriefing and praying at Javon and Genny’s, who served us coffee and candy. It was a good day!
