Blog #2

Tonight was awesome. I think the smaller group reflections were right on time. They were much needed and a lot of people got the chance to clear the air with others during that time. There were a few good points made, one of which was ‘perspective’. To sum it up, if we all were to look at the bigger picture of the trip to New Orleans (helping to rebuild and being a blessing to others) then we would all work effectively with a much more positive attitude. I had to agree with this. This being brought up was not a bad thing or in a negative manner at all. Instead, I believe that everyone learned from it, and it brought us all closer together. It was also a good idea to even more brighten the mood by playing the card game ‘buncos’. Looking around the room was great; everyone was smiling, laughing, and having a good time. We also found out that we are able to work at the same sites that we did today tomorrow. A lot of us are very excited about that. At least I know that I am!
