exhausted

woke up to shower. all 18 of us showered and were ready to leave the community showers in 40 mins. we are awesome. we got a treat on the way back to the church. starbucks. then we came back to the church to have breakfast and quiet time before we started our jobs around the church. i applied the last coat of paint to the air ducts in the sanctuary. brady walked in a one point and said it looked like i was doing pilates. i am up on scaffolding and have my face up. at all times. it was great. as soon as finished that i ran to change clothes. we were headed to matthew's house. i ate lunch on the run.

a group of, oh, 9 went to matthew's house. it's an awesome place. if i lived here i would definitely work/volunteer there. it is a day home for troubled teens. it was just an awesome house. and it was very cute too. like the style i would live in--with just a few adjustments. while we were there we made homemade birthday and thank you cards. it was fun. but it is something that you can get tired of doing real fast. a total of 4 teens came while we were there. i felt bad because i was just so tired and not very talkative. (not that i am in those type of situations anyway, but it didn't help.) we spent a couple hours there and headed back to the church.

once back at the church we hung out for a little bit trying to see what jobs we had left. some people started dinner and the others that stayed during the day had just finished painting the rainbow hallway white. looks much much better. (this is going to be a long post by the way.) so i sit around for a bit cause i really didn't feel like doing anything. then i got up and helped take some painting tape down. then we had dinner. tacos, applesauce, chips and salsa, and brownies and ice cream. mhm.

then, we had a little service. it was a small worship thing then a question answer time with brady and andy. taylor was supposed to too, but there were a few kids at a catholic charities. they made a meal and served it. i won't go into detail, but it was a bit like feeding of the 5000. no joke. all that was great. then after that there was a concert of a white christian rapper. yes. he also had his wife there singing. she had some pipes and it was a good thing she sang. otherwise i'm not sure i would have like it much. but that's okay. it's just not for me. the whole time i was thinking about what would happen if sherry and luke were still at this church and their reactions. i am quite sure i know what they would be. we were all supportive and it was fine. but boy howdy.

after that we had a "debriefing" time. we didn't have one last night so we had two days to cover. telling stories incase someone missed out. uplifting people we thought were awesome. and we always have a few GREAT laughs during this time.

a huge group just went to walmart. i didn't have enough energy; plus i really didn't need to go. so i stayed and wrote this so that when the rest of the girls come back i can go straight to bed. still lovin' every part of this trip. sorry about my novel of a day. talk to you tomorrow.
