Homiez and Butterfly Day
Well it was raining and off we go in to the mud. No problems at all this week, no fights or yelling. Alot of folks didnt come out of their shelters but we talked anyway. By the end of the run the rain had subsided and we spent some time the last group of camps just talking and hanging out, gathering intel as well.
Us going in groups of 5 really seems to get more done as... opposed to going in at 10 or 11, more prayer requests, more talking on thier part, more interacive. So were gonna divide next time we have a large group and well have radios to talk at distance.
We also could have a reaction force at the main bridges if we have enough folks on busy days. Wed be spread out over 4 or 5 blocks and being central would be about 1 min travel time.
Butterfly was effective in bringing joy and the old folks really like the crafts and magazines. They like seeing kids too. This is one where you can bring your kids IF they are well behaved. It didnt take long to do so we dicsussed logistics about going to multiple homes in one day or dividing in group and get them simultainiously.
These folks have church offered to them, thats a positve and they want to talk. We realized there was quite a few men at this home and we only had a few magazines so well be better prepared net go around for men.
Over all the day was a huge joy.
