Hope, Friends, Making New

I had a great time at my very first Week of Hope. It was such an awesome experience to see the other side of Group Cares! The small and close atmosphere was different but enjoyable from Workcamp. Spending that week relaxing as a volunteer was great. Not running the camp was totally different but it was great to just be there to offer my services to others. But the biggest plus was the summerstaff! Abby and Kirsten were awesome, and made Casey and I feel so welcomed! On Tuesday we went to downtown Nashville which was so awesome! We got the chance to see the "Music City!" and Courntey (one of my fellow summer staffers who lives in Nashville) was so right. It is one of my favorite cities we have been too. I could see myself living there!!

Now after spending three days at the wonderful Duzanes that opened their house to us. We are on our way to our next camp. And on our way was the wonderful city of Louisville. I cannot believe I got the opportunity to stop in my city to say hey. Eating at Shenanihans was great! It was like being home for a couple hours! Now tomorrow morning we are heading to West Virginia to help with our setup week for our second Workcamp.

Highlights of the last couple of days. Spending time with Abby. I missed her so much! Receiving the blessed southern hospitality of the Duzanes in Gallatin, TN. And seeing friends such as Katie and Patricia tonight. Only low I can think of was not getting the opportunity to see Tatum. :(

Prayers for the people of the midwest and WV there are people struggling without power right now due to the terrible storms that passed through last weekend!!

Duces y'all!
