We had the lunch bunch in today. This is a group of ladies that go out to lunch together on the first Wednesday of the month. One of the gals that is in charge of the venue visited with me a month ago and said they would like to come in. I told her we would get a room together for them. I have written about that. It turned out well - the room. We had a couple of challenges in the room. The first being a small problem with the heating. Turns out the gas company was supposed to turn off the gas at our old building across the street but somehow shut off the gas to our current building on the second meter that feeds the back half of the building and the room we built for the group. Oh what a nightmare. We had the ladies showing up and complaining about the cold. We managed and the gas getting turned back on was very helpful.
When the gas came back on I went into the room to get the heat running again. I managed to get the switch flipped and the t-stat turned up with the help of some of the ladies. I then hung out and waited for the furnace to start kickin out some air. The oldest lady in the group happens to be in my Ward. I don't know what her name is but she looked at me and said I was going to say the blessing. I agreed, not sure if she was serious or not. She was serious and let everyone know that I would be offering the blessing. The room fell silent and I was up. It was pretty funny and we all had a little laugh about it.
Anyhow, the room worked. We did a fairly good job with it but thought it was a little challenging. We assumed some would not be very happy. The lady that set everything up told me that everyone loved it. The food was excellent and the ladies really had a great time visiting with one another. She told me they would be back. Excellent. I did pray that they would have a good time when I offered the blessing. It appears to have worked.
