So, Tasha and I ended up at the House of Rock (the new building at the church we visited last Sunday) and cleaned up the kitchen. In a word, EWWWWWW. ;) It looked like it hadn't been cleaned since the place had opened as a bar. The fryer was still full of old oil (this place closed down over a year ago), the char grill hadn't been cleaned ever, and the flattop grill was even worse. The grease trap in it was filled to the top and had coagulated for a long time, so it was extraordinarily hard to clean. The hoods hadn't been taken apart to be cleaned at all, either. Luckily, other people had already checked to see if they would work, and the oil in the fryer had been reheated so it was relatively easy to clean it out. The char grill took a mother and her daughter over two hours to get to a point where it could be used again. Tasha was a real trooper, though. She helped wash these disgusting, greasy parts that I kept handing her and helped me to keep the cleaning running smoothly. An amazing woman, I'm telling you!
It felt really good to get to meet some of the people at this church finally. On Sunday, we really didn't get a chance to talk to too many people because the church has to move out quickly so that the tear-down crew can work. It also felt good to be able to serve in a way that I know will help this church out.
More later! :)
