So these lovely friends of mine got a hotel room, so thats where I spent the night - in a bed - so nice! We also had a buffet breakfast, so nice as well. I'm pretty much just loving life right now.The service we had today was really neat, the church put a lot of effort into it. The lunch afterwards was also amazing - they had a pizza machine that made one pizza every minute. Crazy hey!I spent the rest of the day just relaxing and enjoying the company of my friends from Edmonton, thanx girls.And if I thought the suprises were over, after Lynn, Matt, Sharon, and I had dinner we came back to camp for some goodbyes and lo and behold, another friend from Edmonton - Amber - happened to be passing through. She had to take a 2-3 hour detour, but I guess I'm good enough for that. ;PLove you ber, thanx for coming!One thing that I thought about/learned during the service gave me more hope about the cause for the tour. The pastor was talking about reasons for the tour, and everyone doing their little bit and how that becomes one big bit, and it just made me think of a great lesson I've learned over the years from my dearest mother. Her greatest words "Netty, just take it one day at a time." That sentence got me through my bachelor degree especially. I've also relied on this sentence to get me through this tour. And it has, this advice has also helped me in enjoying the days and not destination. Now when I think about it, all of us cycling, the support staff, support from home etc. are taking this challange of ending the cycle of poverty one pedal at a time, one person at a time, on prayer at a time, one donation at a time, etc. If you look at the whole - the whole bachelor degree, the whole nine weeks of cycling, the whole problem of poverty - it becomes very overwhelming. But just chip at it as best you can, and let God do the rest.Mom: Thanks for the advice, love you!
