The girls in our group were able to visit Eden place. Michael Howard started this non profit organization many years ago trying to create a better environment. Today we cleared out a lot of weeds and trash in an empty lot that will become a garden, the people from the neighborhood will be able to get fresh produce right around the block instead of miles away. While the girls were weeding and rolling tarp the boys were working hard at a child learning center. After all the hard work we did a little tourism. The group saw the bean and the buckingham fountain. Then we all got together again and did our kum by ya club thing and all of a sudden lights out. We'll blog tomorrow. Bye!

Hey everybody. Us white sox had a extravagant experience on this humid day. We started out our day with a early wake up to prepare the morning meal. Each individual was able to share an item on the breakfast menu with a witty haiku.
Here is an example of one of extraordinary poet's introduction of oat meal:
"Cinnimon and spice
Is one flavor of oat meal
Other flavored rock"
The community outreach we were givens the chance to do was restoring a beautiful garden. After fighting the treacherous crab grass and thorny dandelions we were victorious. This garden is suppose to be used to educate young children at the local school on basic mechanics of gardening and the variety of organisms living right next door. Following our sunny day of gardening us guys began to cross pollinate with our fellow Minnesotans and played a frustrating game of cards. While experiencing rollercoster of emotions we began to create friendships with our fellow Christians. Later in the night as we visited the mellinial(I think that's how you spell it" park. Here the whole entire group got to develop from acquaintances to friends in a matter of two hours. It's amazing how quickly us humans can create such closed nit communities in such a short span of time.
