Paintin' a church...

They took all us babies (freshman) down the mountain Wednesday morning. We had to meet in the gym at 8am. All 350 of us. They had buses waiting outside to take us down the mountain to help pain a church. For part of the freshman orientation they organize a project for us all to be apart of. I really love this idea. It's get's us off the mountain but also shows us the importance of being involved in this community that we've moved into. Vollunteer work is beautiful. I get a high off it everytime. We hauled furniture, chairs, and desks up many staircases and painted rooms after that. Our room was blue. Our shirts were too. Take a look at some of our friends.

The picture above this is Kyrie, Me, Sam, and Drew (Sam's cousin...he's so great!)


Kyrie, Bethany (she lived in Kenya for 5 years and knows Kiko Takata!) and Rachel.







The bus ride home. Please be happy you weren't there. I've never been so scared driving up a mountain on a huge bus. It's scarey in a car. I could barely imagine a bus until Wednesday afternoon. There's me in the back talking to Bethany about Africa.
