More Day One

This is Graham. The ride down was fun; I slept a lot. As soon as we got here, we started playing soccer and basketball and it is very fun. We ate spaghetti for dinner and we are having a great time so far. Nina, Noelle and Liberty, our leaders, are very nice, and I can't wait to start work tomorrow. Peace.

So far so good! The Salvation Army facility is very large and spacious, although we are packed tight into our rooms. We were welcomed with open arms by Liberty, Nina, and Noelle, who served us a delicious spaghetti dinner. There is a full sized gym down the hall, where we played long games of basketball and soccer. Let's see what tomorrow brings!

Hello all! The ride down was very pleasant with a little traffic. We stopped twice, but we got to Salvation Army at around 4 pm. We were greeted with wonderful home made goody bags with the Capital building drawn beautifully on them. The three young leaders at Experience Mission made us a nice Italian dinner and then Marcus, Henry and I volunteered to clean up the kitchen and washed the dishes. The youth leaders then gave us a nice introduction with some songs and rules and then we went over some of the kids songs with Elisabeth. We just played two hours of nonstop basketball and I'm definitely sleeping well tonight! It's only the beginning and I'm excited for what will happen tomorrow!
