The Gift of the Restaurant

The Gift of the Restaurant

 

For those of you who read this blog regularly, you know that I haven't written much lately.  Part of that is because one of our teacher's has been gone and so I have been teaching her class.  The other part is that we are now in the full swing of volunteers.  Right now we have 10 volunteers and there are 5 members of Paul Hamelryk's family who are also visiting.  In a week we will have 21 folks staying here.  It is a great blessing to see folks who didn't know each other before, working and living together and caring for each other. 

 

Now that we have the restaurant, it is very helpful.  Rachel, our chef at the restaurant, prepares lunch which is served there.  Since this is the cold time of year, she makes a wonderful pot of soup that is more like stew everyday, along with her delicious homemade rolls.  In addition people can get meat or chicken pies, somoosas, fried chicken, French fries, and a few other things that the restaurant serves.  Then Rachel and her helpers make dinner which we pick up and transport to our Visitor House/Our House and we all eat the meal served buffet style. 

 

Those who come will tell you that they sure aren't loosing weight while they are here.  Rachel is a wonderful cook.
