Saturday 5/30 and Sunday 5/31

Saturaday-
So we went to the boys home that is associated with Missions of Mercy. Our friend Phillip attended it when he was growing up so it was cool getting to know him in such a personal way. Natalie, Tyler, and Phillip played soccer with the boys, while the rest of us watched in the heat. It was great fun seeing Phillip playing in his shorts and tshirt. We ate lunch there and got to eat with our right hand again.... that is always a fun experience for us. We then finished the afternoon up with hanging out with the boys, playing ping pong and foosball with them and watching TV (101 Dalmations with Glenn Close). The home is an amazing evironment for the boys to grow in their faith and become men. We all really enjoyed it. As for the drive there... it is never as it is told. The hour drive turned into an hour and a half, but we have learned to accept and love this. Natalie, Tyler, and I (Katie) went to Cafe Coffee Day to work on our presentation for the CEO of Missions of Mercy. it is about our observations of the hospital. Most of the presentation is on safety ( SHARPS bins, handwashing, shoes, patient care, OR regulations, gloves when drawing blood or starting IVs on patients). We also talk about the compassion aspect of the hospital. Amitab wants us to feed it to him directly and bluntly, as a "cucumber" they way he stated... not "salad". We then spent the rest of the night at BMS... hanging out and talking, singing and playing guitar (jenni and mandy), etc. It was a good and productive day overall.

Sunday-
Not much happened. We all split up and went to different churches. Jenni and I went to AG, Natalie, Tyler, Mandy, and Andreina and Sarah went with Lizzy to Grace, and Catherine went with a few others elsewhere. Then was lunch out... Jenni and I ate at One Step Up. We had Naan and Milkshakes... mmm. And the others went to Flurrys for salads and sandwhiches. Cafe Coffee Day soaks up the rest of the afternoon. Tonight we plan on going to Pizza Hut for dinner and dancing =]
Love and miss you guys,
Katie
