Chapter the Second: In Which our Heroes Go to the City

We had to be at the church this morning at 7am to start setting up for the 1030 service. Yeah, tons of fun. They setup from scratch and break down every single Sunday. This is what the gym looks like before they start. And this is what it looks like after it is done. They have a pretty slick setup, and they are crazy professional for only been holding services for 2 months. Most of the people who come to church are visitors, and the majority of them aren't Christians. Some of the people who serve in the church aren't even Christians, they just want to be part of the church. Pretty crazy. So we did a lot of manual labor setting everything up and breaking everything down.

Then we filled eggs with candy. A lot of eggs. We ran out of candy and ran to the SafeWay nearby and bought ALL their candy, and STILL didn't have enough candy. We are going to finish putting them together tomorrow I think, or something. They need to be done by Saturday. One thing I do know, is that if I could, I would love to live in San Fransisco. Look at this place! It was a gorgeouss day, and we saw break dancers. I totally was going to show them up, but Rob talked me out of it. Apparently, Jesus doesn't like show offs who are all frontin' and up in your grill. (Yes, that man is doing a backflip over two dude's arms.)


Tomorrow we are going on a prayer walk around 830, and then we are going to re-walk that same walk, but this time pass out doorhangers. I'm pretty sure that it isn't the most productive way to do that, but I'm not in charge. If I were in charge, we would do it dressed as Ninjas. Because, well, let's be honest, Ninjas are awesome. And Jesus is awesome. So... if A=B and B=C then.....

I think it is safe to say that I'll never be in charge of a mission trip.
