Long enough to drive back to Georgia...

Hay friends! Just wanted to add a little update on today while some of my roommates are watching the Grey's finale.

This morning we went to St. Thomas More, which is one of our ministry sites. It is an assisted living home for the elderly and those with significant mental illnesses who are unable to take care of themselves. We just did room visits while we were there, but we definitely met some interesting characters. I'll go ahead and introduce you to a man named Gabriel, because rumor has it we'll all be talking to and about him all summer long. I won't say much for fear of confidentiality issues, but he is hilarious! He told us all kinds of interesting stories about Uruguay (that's where he's originally from) and all of his women he used to date:) Uruguan and Brazilian women are the prettiest kind, he said. After talking to him for the entire time, we had to leave and come back to Star for lunch.

After lunch we went to buy maps and then were thrown into the city. We had to navigate from the passenger's seat all day and get the driver and the rest of the group to a number of ministry sites. It was nice to see where we were going, but we were in the car for a total of 6 hours today, and that's way too much! We joked that it was long enough to drive back to Georgia! After having soul food for dinner and my 1st Dr. Pepper since Sunday, we went to the mall to debrief. There we talked about what had happened today, and the fact that we'll be spending more time with our maps tomorrow.

Now it's about 3 hours til I turn 21, and it feels absolutely no different than 20. Other than I'm about 293576234975623495 times happier this birthday, than last. I love being here, and I've got say again that I don't want to come home!:) I love you and miss you all, email me or something!
