Putting up frames was the best! And taking a large bite out of Rae's sandwich haha. In a seriousness, in all the work I've done out here in NOLA through SBP, today was the best! Time flew by like nothing! I absolutely love power tools like saws nail guns and drills! Hammers and pinchers are cool too! I'm really happy to have gotten to work alongside DJ, Scott and Tyler and then later with Caitlyn and Rae. They're good to work with. Oomph and the smell of wood made me light up with glee!
I never knew the amount of work that goes along with putting up (old) door frames and nailing them in. And the different kinds of saws that can be used! I used 3 different kinds today! The SBP site sup's were really kind in showing us how to use tools and how to safely too! 
On a side note Ian eating a peanut butter carrot made me wonder why a lot of Bonner love peanut butter and bananas or apples... Note to self.. Try it.
And screwing in nails into shims is so tough! But the team conquered! 
And Pop's and Cindy's food was once again delicious!
The United Saints members here are so very kind and generous.
I'm happy I've gotten to speak to them and say please and thank you. 
We got a new toaster today in the eating area because the other had broken sadly. But in a jiffy they replaced it. 
I met a black man with a last Jonathan I believe. He is a pastor and is a speaker of the way called "Freedom Remedy". I arrived to the would be reflection meeting on time to find only two fellow Bonners and him in the room. Naturally I walked up to him and greeted him and asked for his name and if he worked for United Saints. Mans from there a grand philosophical, deep conversation came about. I genuinely was intrigued by what he had to say and the same for him of me. He was on the same level of thought as me. Empathy, changing the world and being human were on the top of his mind. I loved the talk and I loved how I'm able to more and more use my manners and properly introduce myself and be friendly. 
This trip made me open up more so far and get comfortable with my fellow freshman Bonners and even some chaperones. People I never thought I'd get close to, I got close to. And they accepted little ol' weird me for who I am. 
There's still many Bonners I want to talk to more and get to know! 
Last thing, this cream we got was great! At the work site I swore I smelled eggnog and when I saw they had eggnog flavored ice cream I was D-O-N-E! I'm so happy!
