Leaving Comfort
Friday, July 31st, 2009Saturday Evening
Coming from a small town I didn’t really know what to expect. I was forced to leave my comfort zone and interact and pray with the homeless people. Although I was very scared, I thought that was the most meaningful part of the Plunge. I learned that they are actually the same in a way to you and me even though their daily routines may be different. I also learned that I take way too many things for granted.

More than Words
Wednesday, July 29th, 2009Saturday Evening
While my two friends and I were walking around socializing with the homeless we met an older man who was deaf. We all were nervous because we had no idea what he was saying or what to say to him. But after a few minutes we realized he was the nicest and happiest guy that we had met. He tried telling us stories and he asked us if we played basketball and throughout the entire conversation he always had a smile!

More Lemonade
Thursday, July 2nd, 2009At Siena Francis we served watermelon and pink lemonade. The lemonade was in a 4 gallon cooler and we were at Siena Francis for almost 3.5 hours. There were several times that we were saying the lemonade was almost gone and we should refill soon, but it lasted two hours after we said that. It reminded us of Jesus and the fish and the bread. It was just so awesome that I had witnessed a miracle like that.
