Today was a really good day. Calm, relaxed, easy going. I slept in after a late night, helped clean the team van, lounged in Danny/Bradley's room all day, played some volleyball and now I'm getting ready for bed.

For dinner tonight a local chruch, United Methodist Church, cooked for us. I was hoping for some good deep south cooking... we got pasta. I can't tell you how many times we've eaten pasta since I got here! But it was a really good time! The pasta WAS delicious, the locals were so incredibly friendly, and I met a few more Corps members. It was a good time and the church was so kind to do it for us. If I ever feel the urge to wake up early one sunday I think I'll make my way to a service of theres.

I am so happy with my decision to come to Vicksburg and be a part of this program. Some days are tough, but I have yet to have the urge to go home. That is, aside from the first night here when I realized I had to use public showers/toilets for the next ten months. But I think I've worked through that!

Anyways, quick little update to make sure everyone back home knows I am doing well and had a great day :-)
