home sweet home

Last week was our long awaited summer break. As most of ya'll know by now, I spent the week in wonderful North Carolina! Most of the week, I was in the mountains with mom and dad, and i was able to see Jason and Amy some too. Friday and Saturday I was in Mebane, which definitly wasn't as relaxing as the rest of the week! I was able to spend some time with my best friend, have lunch with some of the youth, and see all of my other "parents".
Summer break couldn't have come at a better time, i was becoming frustrated at certain people on my team. Being around my wonderful family and friends at home helped me refocus and reminded me how wonderful of a support system I have there.
For the next three weeks I am living at Camp Hope, in Violet LA (just southeast of New Orleans). There are 2 other teams from my Sacramento campus living and working here, along with 14 other Americorps teams from the other 2 campuses. I am excited about being around other people, not just my team. I have a couple friends on the other teams that are Christian and I am able to talk to about things that I havn't really had the opportunity to living with just my teammates.

I think our project is changing a little, even though we start tomorrow, so I will update you later this week about what we are doing here.
My internet time is limited here, much more than in previous places, so my posts will probably be much shorter. (Which probably is a nice switch compared to some of my longer ones in the past. . . =) )
Hope you have a wonderful week. It was great to see everyone last week!
MPC youth- thanks for coming to La Cocina, i loved seeing all of you!!
