Dress for the Mess

...Has anyone seen my sandals?

Dress for the Mess has happened. A lot of good things happened: We've all been able to connect with each other a little bit more. Being new, I really feel like the outsider when I am with the students. The most important thing to me is finally having information cards for people. With your names, I can look up everyone on Facebook and with phone and cell phone number, I can start trying to talk to everyone throughout the week so that I don't just see you two days a week!

Seriously, I can't find my sandals anywhere.

We had a night full of scalding Mashed Potatoes, dish soap, watermelons, ketchup, mustard and other condiments firing from squirt guns, and a tasty dish of...something...I know it had rice, beans, split pea soup and some grapefruit juice just to add some moisture. Oh, and lets not forget how beautiful Jordan and Austin looked! There were some really awful smells from all that mixing together, but it's not everyday that "we" can get that dirty (I am not really included in that since I didn't actually get dirty...next time)

I feel like I've looked everywhere, too.

Some lessons I learned:
Trust in God, he really does look out for those he loves and he really cares about even the little day-to-day things that affect us, including the weather.
People, parents especially, want to help. I need to make sure I have a specified plan for what they can do and not try to do everything myself.
Wear shoes, so I don't lose them from taking them off all the time.

Oh well, it was time to get new sandals anyway.

Pictures will be coming soon to a facebook page near you.
