Love in the Streets

Thursday morning, the Green Team went back to Bethel Colony.  They moved doors and tried to get everything under the tents because it was raining.  In the afternoon, they painted at the KIPP school that the Gold Team had been at the day before.

The Gold Team went back to the Timothy House where they helped organize some more and just chatted with the men who worked there.  Cathy Gilbert and Darren landscaped for a lady down the street (in the rain).  In the afternoon, the team went back to the Capdeau School to move more boxes.  Hope and Sasha counted their trips to the second floor, and they made 40 trips for a grand total of 800 steps (Hope says 1600 if you count going back down).

The Purple Team went back to the Mission in the morning and to the Girls and Boys Club in the afternoon.  Everyone returned to their original teams except for Charles who took Becky’s spot.

 
The Green Team and the Gold Team went back to the church to pack lunches for themselves and a homeless person.  Everyone walked to Jackson Square, just a few blocks away, where they sat down and had lunch with someone on the street.  Almost everyone said it was the best experience of the trip so far.  The Purple Team, who didn’t get to go to the Square for lunch, went to the Timothy House to serve food to the homeless Thursday evening.  Some of the others went back to Jackson Square Thursday night with Danny, the minister at the church where we are staying, to pass out more food and just pray with people.  It was an awesome day.
