New Orleans Day 3


HI YALL IT’S MEG AND NAT!!! You might remember us from the spring break mission trip in which we also wrote our blog together. Oh and btdubbs Mal is kind of here too. So just to get this out of the way, our room smells…really bad because Mal has a broken ankle and her brace cast thing smells like the worst thing you have ever smelled times five. SO today we woke up at 5:30am. It was so great…just kidding….I mean it was okay but we would have rather slept longer. Then we went and sat around for like four hours. Then we did mission work by deconstructing houses (which is kind of like demolishing but better for the environment and cheaper), taking nails out of wood, handing out fliers, picking up trash, and manning the first aid table. Then we ate lunch which consisted of a sub that only had meat and cheese on it…yeah we are pretty hardcore I mean WHO NEEDS VEGGIES ANYWAY!?!!?!?!? After that we got back to the hotel and Nat and I took a nap. That may sound boring to you folks but IT WAS SO FANTASTIC! We fell asleep with like nine people in our room and slept through them leaving and then three different people knocking and a maid that tried to get into our room…actually she walked into our room saw us sleeping and then left. Then Eric woke us up and Nat yelled at him and then we went back to sleep for another hour. After that smashing adventure we went and got din-din at daisy dukes. But we ate super early to avoid crowds which didn’t work at all because we still had to wait in line to get in the restaurant. There are so many people here it’s mind blowing. Anyways after dinner we went and bought ponchos because it keeps raining like every ten seconds and we were tired of being soaking wet. Then we went to Mass gathering!!! I think that we all decided that today’s mass thing was all of our favorites. This one armed guy played the guitar for us and we heard stories from Shane and Megan and Valarie and this guy that kind of had a slam poetry thing going on. All in all everything said was very inspiring. After that we went back to the hotel. Now remember folks every time I mention going to the dome thing for mass it’s a 20 minute walk, yeah we exercise hardcore. On the walk back to the hotel I (Meg) met this guy named Tom that is my soul mate. But I’ll probs never see him again. When we got back to casa de Sharton we went to this dance thing with Moriah and Nerissa. It was toats crazy and there was a huge crowd that we kind of shoved our way into and just started jumping up and down. IT WAS SO FANTASTIC AND AMAZING AND FUUUUNNNN!!! At this dance thing me and Nat met these two guys (one of which was Jewish lawlz) who were SUPER CUTE and we hung out with them a bit. But don’t worry parents we just talked and jumped up and down together. We may one day go get coffee together and discuss religion, but don’t worry Tom, Meg will never forget you. We are some classy teens. NEWS FLASH someone brought a wash cloth out into our room and left it on the floor. Who does that? There are also clothes all over our room because we just kind of leave our clothes wherever and hang our wet stuff to dry on like the television and chairs and lamps and door handles. Boys don’t really like going into our room, except for Eric who keeps using our bathroom. That kid needs to get his own bathroom. On Saturday there is going to be a thing for donating blood and hair and Stasia is going to donate like most of her hair to lock of love. What a gem that girl is. Okay we are officially out of things to say unless it has to do with those cute boys we met at the dance and I’m sure as our parents you don’t want to hear anymore about them. GOODNIGHT MICHIGAN LOVE YA XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO! LOVE MEG AND NAT AND KIND OF MAL AND STASIA LOVES YOU TOO!!!! SENIORS 2013 <3
