Saturday June 27

Surprisingly I slept great! I woke up a few times, but it wasn't too bad for a parking garage and cardboard as a bed. This morning we got up at about 7:00 AM and walked to breakfast. Afterwards we walked back down to the parking garage and hung out outside for a little over an hour. I slept during the time we were waiting. Then the bus came to pick us up and take us downtown.

We got dropped off downtown and started our 5-hour scavenger hunt. By far it was the hardest scavenger hunt I've done. We had to collect 100 cans, find a free lunch, and more difficult tasks. To get cans, we had to dig in a trash can outside of a bar, and I got beer all over my hands. I noticed later that there was something wet and sticky on the bottom of my backpack. Sam and I figured out that the medicine I was carrying started leaking. It got all over my butt and on the front of my leg.

After the scavenger hung, we were dropped off at the parking garage. Two of the groups were taken back to the dorm. Some of us hung out outside of the parking garage, then we headed up for dinner. Everyone's feelings started coming to the surface. Most of us weren't too happy with the conditions we were given, even though it wasn't as bad as it could be. We stopped to pray because we were feeling this way. We had to stop and pray quite a bit over the last two days because it's been hard.

We were allowed inside for dinner and took turns taking showers. We had to keep the same clothes on, but I changed my jeans because they were sticky. We watched a movie about a homeless woman and her daughter. It was really sad, but it helped us see how good we really have it.
