Finally here!

We are finallyyyyyyy here!! My van got lost on the way here! (i won't mention names or anything.... *cough cough Kenton Hock and Ian Barns) haha The place we are staying is really neat. Its a house type thing that is part of what was an old church. They want to rip down the church but its so beautiful!! The sactuary (sp?) is ah-mazinggggg. JUMP (the organization we are here with) currently holds church in a little room. Our first day here (today) we have held two church services. The people here are sooooo cool. The christians that we have met so far are just so in love with Jesus, its truly amazing. Today actually me, kenton, andrew, maggie and mitch at a chance to pray for a few homeless people and give them food. it was a cool experience. Later today we are going to a homeless shelter to serve dinner. Harv and Robin (the people that run the organization) are amazing people. we are having a great time and i can already tell that God has amazing plans for us here. OHHHHHH! almost forgot, last night we went to a christian hip hop concert!! It was so awesomeeee. I got a free t-shirt cuz (aparently) i got swag! haha
(oh and we walk everywhre... its pretty fun!) This is going to be a awesomeeeee missions trip! i can already tell. Its funny to listen to the people make comments about seeing white people when we walk down the street.. mostly all the people here are imagrants from puerto rico and africa and mexico and stuff... its awesome. They have such a sence of community here!!
okay i wrote a ton.. We all miss our family and friends but we are beginning to love it here:)
