Hey Alfonners!
The first day of our
Immersion/Intercession was about discussing the book The Working Poor: Invisible in America by David Shipler and getting to Clearwater/ Tampa.
I was expecting it to be
similar to our Bonner Retreat in August but this Immersion is turning out to be
a lot more intense. The activity “frozen frame” made us think about
ourselves and those around us; an enlightening way to start a service trip - Our job in this activity was to illustrate the essence of the figures of the book. The other
exercise was Crossing the Line which
also allowed us to see that we are not alone and to not be so judgmental about
others for we never fully grasp another person’s life and mentality. Apparently
Habitat is also really extreme in a good way, so BRING IT ON.
The trip to Clearwater was very
interesting, it included: one minivan, two crazy drivers, three screamers, and
countless bad radio stations.There was an incident of near death by cold and
bladder-burst but, hey, service is messy and unpredictable.
After we had our family
moment while cooking for dinner, eating it, and enjoying each other company after
it.
Looking forward to
tomorrow!
Love the comedic commentary!
