California Time

June 20, 2010


I am awake at 5:30 a.m. California time. The sounds of birds in the morning our different then home and the sun was up before 5 a.m. I am anticipating a hot and beautiful day. We will be walking thirty minutes to church later, now I have to get ready.

Well, I didn’t quite make it to church. Later this morning I fell out of a eucalyptus tree and fractured my tibia and it may result in not going on the trip  Mary wrapped me up in an ace bandage and Tracy drove us to the CVS pharmacy to buy me some crutches. We were able to attend part of the church service, but so I did not have to walk back, Tracy, Mary, Megan, and I left early after already being late. Mary and Tracy went to pick up Shalee who came into LA late, while Megan and I just went back to the school for lunch. Megan and I were the only two from our group at lunch. We met a man by the name of Mahesh from Nepal. He was our chef for the first part of the week and said he would be praying for my knee to be healed so I could go on the trip. Everyone else who stayed until the end of the service was invited by the church to join them for lunch.

I did not write anymore about this day due to being upset about my injury and feeling pretty week from using crutches everywhere. I believe that evening we had our first team meeting with all of us present.
