Drop in night was very encouraging. Even though we only had a couple of young folks drop in we had fun. The food was great and the atmosphere was even more incredible.
We had a couple of folks drop in after we were up and running for an hour or so. Joe and Jessica spent close to 45 minutes with us. They had some warm food and desert and spent some time just hanging with us before they had to catch a bus. They wondered if this was our first night doing this and we told them it was. They thought it was great.
An older couple that are part of another drop in for adults stopped in to say hello and we had a nice visit with them. They were very encouraging and enjoyed watching the hockey game with us. They had a little bit of the desert we had for the evening and they talked about the drop in they go to.
Two other girls came in around 9:30, they are non Christians and friends of a mutual friend. We decided to play a game of monopoly and it was surprisingly fun. I am not a big monopoly fan but they made it fun. After a long game and the building of some new friendships it was time for us to close up for the night.
I am excited because of a couple of comments that were said during the night. The first was, "this is so much fun. It takes me back to the fun I used to have before I got messed up in drugs. It is so nice to be sober and have a good time." The second was said as people walked by on the sidewalk, who were drinking, " I am in here having lots of fun, and I don't need to be doing what you are to have fun". Don't worry the people on the sidewalk couldn't here what was said as they were outside and we were inside.
We are looking forward to next week!
