Chocolate Tasting at GMA

The chocolate tasting that we hosted for the leaders of Compassion International went extremely well! I didn't know how it would go. It was at 9:30 in the morning which is definitely not the best time. We think that it would be better at night. However, everyone loved it! There were a few people there who were planning on going home and hosting one. There was a young couple there just out of college that decided they were going to start having parties with a purpose in their community. Lots of people had some great ideas about it.

Also, there was a girl who was working at the coffee shop where we hosted the tasting. Brock felt like he needed to ask her something. He did. He asked her what she wanted to do with her life. She said that she wanted to be a nutritionist in Africa. Brock's question was, "Then why aren't you doing that?" She gave some reasons like she needs to go to school for it and doesn't have the money. The school that she wants to go to has been "processing" her application for over a year! Brock said that these are all tiny obstacles that shouldn't deter her from her dream. Nothing is impossible with God. It was a great encounter, and she said that she needed to hear that. Please pray for Mandy.

Then, we went to the place where all of the GMA festivities were going on. We plopped down on a bench in the middle of it for about 3 hours. We just sat there and everyone came to us. It was fun to visit with some old friends. What a great day!
