Yesterday was a pretty long day for me, and perhaps an indicator of what might be coming next week when my internship starts. I was back at the Capitol Hill Pregnancy Center for another day of service. Tomorrow is my last day there. We spent hours working on folding, stuffing, sealing, and stamping 1800 letters to be sent out to donors. Even though the work was pretty uninteresting I have been learning so much from conversations and leaving CHPC leaving so uplifted and excited about perhaps incorporating something like this into my future. Once they took us down to the room full of baby clothes and other supplies and told us that if donations stopped coming it, the supplies would only last about three weeks. They were so thankful for God's faithfulness throughout the years.

In the evening we all gathered at one of staff member's houses (my advisor Jerry) for supper. This was a great time for everyone to be together relaxed, having fun and playing games.

The weather here has been pretty nasty, especially for DC. Snow fell for most of the day yesterday and turned to ice over night. We had no scheduled events for this morning so I braved the ice and navigated my way to my internship where I begin Monday. I took the bus for the first time which was a little nerve wracking because the system is more complex than the metro system. I love watching people and listening to conversations on public transportation. Today there were a couple of middle aged hippies on the way to the Vietnam Memorial. The man had long hair and carried a crazy cane with an eagle head and the woman kept complaining about her hot flashes and how she wanted a cigarette. I can't wait to see what happens next time!
