the local scoop

today i stopped to have ice cream with one of the girls who went on the Owyhee River Trip with us. we went to "The Local Scoop," Arlington's own local ice cream shoppe, and i was astounded to discover that you can purchase a double scoop waffle cone for $5.99! This thing was HUGE, and i was thinking that no one could eat that much ice cream--oh, but the petite teenager that i was with downed the whole thing. i was so impressed that anyone could consume that much ice cream in one sitting! we had a great conversation, and best of all, she's excited about the idea of doing an all girls' bible study in Arlington this year (we currently facilitate two co-ed bible study groups)--which i would be excited to lead...so it's just in the brainstorming phase right now, but it has lots of potential--and it could be a great way to integrate some new female volunteers and new girls into the ministry....so....i'll keep you posted.
