What a great day it was. The weather was awesome here, sunny and 75! I woke up this morning to Scare Crow putting on coffee. I'm a huge fan of coffee so I waited for it to brew and then got me a cup. He introduced me to putting hot coco packets in my coffee to make a mocha. I instantly fell in love with it.
When Max woke up we decided to go down to Mojo's Coffee Shop and get some higher end coffee. I sided with another mocha and a order of blueberry pancakes. This was an amazing meal, well at least for my first breakfast. After Mojo's we went back to the Broken Fiddle Hostel and Barbara (a local) had started fixing breakfast for everyone in the hostel. I couldn't pass it up, that would just be rude. So I ate a plate of biscuits and gravy, sausage, bacon, eggs, and an assortment of fresh fruit. I would call this morning extremely successful food wise.
After breakfast we headed down to one of the outfitters in town and purchased some new shoe insoles. I got some called super feet green. They are really rigid right now but the guy at the outfitter said it would take a week to break them in. Hopefully it will be sooner than a week.
After the outfitters we swung over to Hey Joe's again where I at another helping of chicken nachos. They are the bomb dot com. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who visits Damascus.
Once it was time to go we settled out debts with the hostel and were on our way back to the trail. Of course it was after one game of corn hole with the owner of the hostel. We won after a long intense game. We then made a pit stop by subway for a sandwich for dinner and then to the ice cream parlor for a treat for the heat.
We left Damascus around 3:30 and hiked 9.2 miles to Saunders Shelter. Here we met a guy named joker and another father and son from Kentucky. The hike was easy which was great coming off a rest day!
I would say the stay in Damascus had one of the biggest impacts on our ministry. I felt like it really took off at the hostel. We volunteered a ton around the hostel, helping with any and everything we could. I found it to bring my spirits up and I also feel like people are starting to wonder why we are so nice and are so helpful. This is a good thing, maybe there will be a lot of questions to come. Please pray for questions and opportunities to arise!
So thankful to be out here doing one of my favorite things while serving God. Blessed is definitely an understatement. Thanks again for all the continued prayers and support!!
