Catering With the O'briens

Last Friday was quite a busy day for us.

Thursday evening Daniel drove to Portland, Oregon and spent the night with the Berkompas's, so he could film the funeral of Pastor Pollocks father Friday morning.

Later in the afternoon Mom, and the twins attended a wedding, while Stephen, Priscilla, and I, drove down to Aberdeen to cater a fundraising dinner for the Crisis Pregnancy Center with the O'briens.

We always have so much fun when we get to work for them, one of the reasons is because they are the perfect example of a godly couple doing their best to serve the Lord in everything that they do. They are such a good testimony of what true Christians are, and they have been such a blessing to not only us but pretty much any one they come into contact with, plus they make some of the best food you'll ever eat or see.

The first thing we did was set the tables, and make sure the place settings were all straight, then we filled up water pitchers, and glasses.

After that was finished Sill and I cut the bread and make a bread basket, then while we waited for the real work to begin Stephen and I played hymns on the old piano.

When the food was all set out on the buffet line and the people started filling their plates, our next job was to keep everything on the table filled, there was pork roast and gravy, roasted potatoes, roasted apples, freshly made bread, and Salad.

When everyone was finished eating we cleared the dinner plates and started to serve dessert, there was Chocolate cake, Cheesecake with raspberry sauce, and a gluten free berry pie for those with allergies.

After they had finished dessert and all the plates had been cleared it was time for us to eat, after which comes the longest but still fun part...

scraping, rinsing, washing, drying, and putting away all the dishes, pots, pans, and silverware.

At around 10:40 the last dish had been loaded into the van, and we were on our way back to the O'briens house to unload the van and put everything where it belongs.

When everything was unloaded and put away we all went upstairs got ready for bed, and after Stephen, and I played a few hymns we all went to sleep.

The next morning after eating breakfast, talking, and drinking tea, we were on our way home.

We had a really great time as always and are looking forward to our next oppertunity.
