And so it begins

Well yesterday was our first official day out with johny gelato. We finally got on the street around three pm. Unfortunately from 1-3 their were violent thunderstorms and the beaches wern't exactly hopping. Figures our firstday out and a 3 week drought decides to end. Business was slow but everyone who tried it was excited about it. Except for the one guy who was like "gelato what;s gelato? Does that mean it's healthy for you or something?" or the guy who paid me three bucks because he thought I was watching for cops while he got high in his car. "Hey man thanks for lookin out like that you want me to buy some of your cotton candy? Hey man here's some money ok." But it was a learning experience as the next week will be. Learning what flavors sell and what the peak times will be, what the perfect temp is, and the best way to scoup it. The good thing about being your own boss is that if you mess up the only one who can yell at you is you, and maybe a customer here and there.

Sometimes life is like a gelato stand, their isn't always an instruction manuel or a supervisor to train you for some situations and we learn from trial and error. God gives grace through the trial and mercy in the error and we move forward smarter than we were before. Other times we have his word as our training manuel and our fore-runners of the faith as "trainers" and we can learn from their wisdom and their own trial and error situations which inevetibly become testimonies.

If you live in the rochester area tell your friends about jhony gelato on lake ave by the fast ferry.
If you don't come on down and visit any way, "God wills it!"
