nothing profound... / Oct 3, 01:19 PM
i didn’t want to blog until i had something profound to say. that’s how i like to write usually. but 3+ weeks in, still nothing BIG to say. but a friend from back home wrote me a letter saying she checks me MY blog everyday, twice a day and was sad that there still wasn’t any new info…
so, my sincere sorry-ness. um, yeah, i guess this is the part when i tell you what i’ve been up to.
training, training, training. four afternoons at an afterschool program. that’s through Urban Promise. (i’m at the south camp site – camp freedom). and i love all the UP people i’ve met. they are great.
still looking at AM volunteers sites. interested in volunteering at planned parenthood. (though i’m worried that it’s not the “good christian” thing to do :S) or at this place homeless day shelter, frank’s. or maybe both. 2 days a week at each, ya know? all of the final details will be worked out by the end of this week. fo sho.
um, the people at my church our super, super kind. and my team is the BEST! i love them so much. (kristen, loren, alexandra)
what else to tell? um…. i wouldn’t really say i’m home sick. but i do miss my church family (tuesdays!) and the comfort of knowing where everything is in my town. i miss el ranchito and hagies. and i miss LOST. (i’m a little ahead of the game considering season 4 doesn’t start until january anyway but whatev…)
next time you see me i’ll probably have some dreds in my hair. one of the girls on the north camden team, hope, used to have some and knows how to do ‘em and take care of ‘em and such. so she’s gonna show me how on one of our sabbeths. yeah, i know most people aren’t all for dreds. but i’ve thought through it. really have. and i want them. and there is nothing you can say about it to change me mind. :-)
the end!
love you all!

I think any form of helping people is the “good christian” thing to do. Everybody deserves a second change. Go with your gut. I miss you dearly.
Spread joy!

I would think that volunteering in general is a “good christian” kind of thing. Hmm..

I’m proud of you for doing this mission trip. Your inner spirit comes through in a choice like this. Whatever decision you make in your volunteer placement, it will be the right one. I think someone else said it too, everyone deserves a second chance. I’m sending a package soon. I have a few more copies to get together. It’s not that great, but it’ll be fun hopefully! Take Care!!!
