Sunday: Traveling to DC!!

 Today we woke up in a nice air conditioned hotel room which was very enjoyable, and we all headed down to eat breakfast and stuff our faces full. After that we had a little sermon/devotional in Paster Tinsley’s room and we talked about how at times it may seem like things aren’t going our way but for all we know it could be for the better. After that we packed the van almost forgetting a couple things and left, then on to another five hours of driving. Driving is always fun with this group we are all very energetic, except for when we are sleeping. We played games, watched movies, played hand eye coordination games, which took a little while to learn, but was really fun in the end. Once we were almost there, everyone was very excited and hyped up on who knows how much caffeine. Once we got there it was definitely not Oostburg. It was a sketchy neighborhood and we knew we had to be carful with the way we acted and what we said. Once we got to the Urban Outreach building it got pretty chaotic, while we were all unpacking our stuff there was a chapel that was going to happen in like five minutes. We talked about all the baggage that we carry that weighs us down from running our race with the lord and how we will try to start letting go of that baggage this week and hopefully keep it off. After that we went to da korna sto (the corner store on the second floor of our building) and got drinks and snacks. By then we were all very tired so we went to bed ☺ - Allison Heinen - Jenny Wieskamp
