So today we had my Awesome Merge Small group. The plan tonight was simple, bring some money, buy some city light gift, go caroling, eat some krispy Cream, and white wash kenricks Small group. Mission completed!

Now out of the whole night everything went real smoothly except for the very first task. Go buy the gift. So I walk all 12 of my boys from the Church to Crossroads Shopping Center, secretly disguising the fact that we would be going to Bath and Body works. haha
Of course I heard many complains, I mean I am trying to raise some God fearing men of God so I am glad I heard them.  Anyways we all walk into the store and started looking for the prepackaged gifts.

Uncomfortably we kept getting weird glances from the employees.  I mean I have been in that store before and the ladies who work there are always so nice, but tonight it was different. I know I had 12 13-15 year old guys, but they weren’t bad at all they were pretty quiet and awkward all at once.  But the employees were pretty rude and snoody.  One of the employees comes up and asks if she can help me, I say “yes, How much is this gift box?” she says “check the back”, I say “I did it says 25 but the sign says 15 and under” she replies “take 30% off ” and walks away.

Next the boys and I go up to purchase the gift.  I saw some gift wrapped bags and asked the cashier if it cost money to get our gifts gift wrap.  She says “no”, I said “awesome can i get mine wrapped then”. She replies “we don’t gift wrap.”  I shut my mouth and tried to set the example for being polite to rude people.  All I have to say

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED despite our awkward weird encounters.
