Countless
times throughout the past 8.5 months I have asked myself, or my
teammates, “how is this our life?” There are random moments
where it just hits me that we have a strange life, and I have no idea
how we are doing what we are doing. Let me walk you through a few
things that we did this past week. You can decide for yourself how
normal you would feel.
Getting
up at six every morning to exercise on the roof
-starting
said workout with frolicking to fake Journey (Glee version of
Faithfully)
Meeting
every night, as a group of 14 people, in a small bedroom, to listen
to one person’s testimony
Walking
a good three miles to go somewhere
-walking
the whole way home in pouring rain
Visiting
a leprosy colony
Creating
connect-the-dot coloring pages by hand for 19 students
Having
three hour conversations about food
Going
to bed at 9:45 on a Saturday evening because you have nothing better
to do
Lusting
after a teammate’s digestive cookie with peanut butter sandwich
Watching
the entire first season of The Hills
on a Saturday afternoon
Much
love!
