Now with March 2018!
Serving the Homeless
As a part of one of the clubs I was in we got the opportunity to serve the homeless. We began the day by having mass, then going to the store for ingredients. I also drank my first LaCroix, an unflavored one which wasn't bad. We then made all of the breakfast burritos and packaged everything, ready to serve the homeless!
Once we met up downtown our goal of really getting to know people was put in place. We began as a large group giving out lunches to people who are homeless. Our talks were intentional, understanding each person and showing care, not meeting a quota. Later, we split into smaller groups with teachers. We talked to a few people, one man in a wheelchair and his dog that was pink! He was very kind! While, we were talking to him a man gave him money, but more of an I owe you something than a donation. This lead me to believe he has a whole operation because when other students went to serve the homeless months ago, he was still there. The man didn't even want the meal, once we insisted he said he'd give it to a guy he knows who digs in the trash. We met with other people too, like a mom didn't want the food. Another man was interesting. He was on a corner with a sign that read "Weed lost in several small fires," very creative. We talked to him and introduced ourselves. Once, we were leaving he asked our names again and he proceeded to hit on my friend. Gross. We moved on and talked to a man who was discussing the Bible. It was an interesting conversation as he said we always need to have a Bible on us because our phones (that have our Bibles) will die, then what do we have? My friend answered that she doesn't need to physically have a Bible to be protected and all, because she has faith, good point. He was interesting, he asked for prayers too! My group and I were with our priest in training during this, so it was interesting to hear the conversation, one man with lots of education on the subject and the other with what I presume to not have as much information, although he did have faith! That was kind of the end of the day, so we drove back where I had my second LaCroix ever, a Cran-Raz! It was a nice way to spend St. Paddy's day!
Manitou Incline
During Spring Break I made a mistake, I agreed to go hike up the Manitou Incline with my friends. The night before my friend suggested it and I said "Sure!" I looked it up and I thought "It's just a bunch of stairs, it can't be that hard." I woke up, got picked up, picked up my friend and e were on our way! We found parking and this thing is much taller than you'd think! It's a whole 5,000 plus stairs in one mile! I began ans was already tired. We walked and walked. I felt like I was hindering my friends because they were talking the whole time, like it was a day in the park! Most of it I wouldn't talk because it took to much, but I'm very expressive, so it worked out. We picked points to climb to and take a break, which worked! I constantly told myself Bible verses to continue. Eventually, we made it up and wow was I tired! We took pictures and done we went! however, the hike down was bad too, I fell and started crying because I was done with all this hiking. Thankfully, I made it done and grumpily ate my snacks in the car. My friends and I went to Kairos coffee afterword. It was a cute place, very old. It probably would've appealed to me more if I hadn't been tired. Then, we went for lunch and then to TJMaxx and Marshall's where I perked up again. Finally, i made my way home and relaxed glad that I did it, but never again, which is funny because I think I want to go again this year!
Golf
I also began golf again which is always fun and relaxing!
