Sunday. Another day of rest. It's a warm one here in Payson, and we saw a thunderstorm roll through this afternoon that almost took some tents off the field in the process.
We've been waking up early, despite the relaxed schedule. We're all finding that it's too hot to stay in our tents past 6:30am. So we're up and about, waiting for breakfast, which is served at 8am. I spent some time reading and stretching before that time came.
This morning we were given the option of attending one of two local churches that welcomed us. I chose to attend Shepherd of the Pines Lutheran Church, which was a mere block away from our 'campsite'. The host congregation was most welcoming, and I think we nearly doubled their typical attendance. After the service we had a potluck lunch, and loaded up on brat's and a plethora of salads.
We've been hiding out at Dimi's coffee shop for the afternoon, escaping the heat and the storm. This afternoon we may return to the movie theatre to see "Man of Steel." Yesterday we saw the matinee of "Monster's University" to get us out of the sun for a few hours. Ice cream followed, and we took over the coffee table in the shop to play Bananagrams (I owned three of five rounds).
Karel just rolled in and told me my tent blew away in the wind, so I'll be rolling out real quick to check on the damage... Apparently it didn't rain much, so stuff should be dry.
No pictures to post today as we're doing more the same - relaxing and bonding. The people I meet keep surprising me with their awesomeness and depth of caring.
A few of us are planning a ride tomorrow - potentially up hwy 87 to Strawberry and back - something like 50 miles with a bunch of climbing. We'll be up early to beat the heat and the traffic, but we figure because it's a Monday morning the road won't be too crazy.
The wrist is really sore today, so I would definitely appreciate continued prayer for flexibility and healing.
That's all for now folks...
