Like yesterday, two students rose early to spend the day working at Sowers Harvest Café. Sheri and Bri have a good report of their time among Sowers’ staff.
Instead of visiting the Café with the rest of our group, Sara and Seth stayed back at headquarters to give driving lessons to several PhD students who were seeking to acquire driving licenses for their stay in the United States. They too have good reports from this event.
After a delicious breakfast in town, we returned to headquarters where we heard from Bryant about the vision and work of All-Nations Bible translation.
Our major team work for the day was serving lunch at Penn State. We worked with a team who hosts a weekly event where students can come for a free hot meal. Some served the soup, rice, bread, fruit, and dessert. Others mingled with the guests and joined in good conversations over the food.
Our work ended in the early afternoon, so we went to The Arboretum at Penn State, a place with winding paths through woodland, fields, and a botanic garden. Part way through the leisurely stroll, we gathered some logs and sat down among the trees to reflect upon the high and low points of our trip thus far.
Our final stop of the day was at Café Alina, a place with fabulous food and gracious staff. We dined upon kabobs, samosa, tikka, and many other good things. To top off our visit, they kindly gave us tea. The visit was a genuine delight.
